I should say also that my assertion that Christian theology is “broader and deeper and richer than most people suppose” is only the beginning of my thoughts, with regard to the imaginative courage of artists, and their willingness or unwillingness to plunge into the moral abyss. What is moral in art is not that which is ‘good,’ but that which is true (regardless of whether a truth provides comfort to one’s ego). Not only that, but it is truth rendered with beauty, which is extremely difficult to do. The number of artists today who mistake self-indulgence for courage is astounding.
