This compelling final installment of this series will examine how art can stir the soul and propel the imagination to wonder and awe at the glory of the One who made us. Highlighting the works of nineteenth-century American painter, Thomas Cole, among other notable artists and composers, Dr. Boa and other leading experts will discuss the deep theological and existential questions at the intersection of art history, theology, and personal reflection, providing insights into how created art can strengthen conviction on life's profound journey.
