Episode 153: Winfield Bevins - Will Beauty Save the World? Art, God, and Ancient Future Worship

Will Beauty Save the World? Can beauty lead us to God? Has the modern Church forgotten the formative power of art, architecture, music, story, and worship? And what might an ancient-future vision of Christianity offer a culture hungry for meaning?In this episode of More Christ, I sit down with Dr Winfield Bevins - theologian, author, artist, and founder of Creo Arts - to explore the relationship between beauty, truth, goodness, and the Christian life.Drawing on his latest book, How Beauty Will Save the World, Winfield argues that beauty is not an optional extra but an essential part of Christian witness. Together we discuss the role of the arts in evangelism and discipleship, recovering historic liturgy and ancient-future worship, the vocation of Christian artists, C.S. Lewis, the imagination, and why beauty still has the power to awaken people to God.I hope this conversation encourages you to see beauty not simply as decoration, but as something that points beyond itself to Christ.Find Winfield Bevins:Website:https://winfieldbevins.comBooks: https://winfieldbevins.com/booksCreo Arts:https://creoarts.orgInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/winfieldbevinsRecommended books:How Beauty Will Save the WorldLiturgical MissionEver Ancient, Ever NewSimply AnglicanMarks of a MovementIf you enjoyed this conversation, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who might find it helpful.
