2016 Workshop Talk | 0:52:29 | All Grade Levels, Art & Music
Summary
Our understanding of creation isn’t just an optional dressing in the salad bar of orthodoxy, it is at the very root of how we understand knowledge, teaching, instruction, and every other form of human communication. If this world is God’s art, then we must live in and engage with reality on an artistic level. If we are made in GodÍs image, then we are to be artists, striving to be as much like He is as we can possibly be.
Speaker
N.D. Wilson is a best-selling author and a Fellow of Literature at New St. Andrews College. His books have been published in dozens of languages all around the globe, and his nonfiction work, Death by Living, won top honors in Christianity TodayÍs 2014 Book Awards in the spirituality category. More recently, he has been working as a screenwriter and filmmaker, and is currently preparing C.S. LewisÍ The Great Divorce for production (after years of development). He received his BA from New St. Andrews College and his MA from St. JohnÍs College, but the foundation of his education was laid by Logos School in Moscow, Idaho, where he attended K_12, where his five children all currently attend, and where he now serves as a permanent board member. He and his wife, Heather, live in a tall skinny house with their busy children and almost as many pets as Noah took on the Ark.
