Here is a link to Shai Linne’s recent lecture at Capitol Hill Baptist Church on Christianity and the Arts along with his Power Point.

After establishing the biblical basis of beauty, he talks about the way Christians have created with excellence in the past–e.g. Bach, Tolkien–and the need for Christians to be creative artists in society at large and not holed up in a cul-de-sac of “Christian” expression. Excellent talk from a talented poet-rapper believing in an objective standard of beauty.
