Dr. Harold Best’s Lecture From Sojourn: “What Creative People Can Learn From The Creation”

Dr. Harold Best, author of Unceasing Worship and Music Through The Eyes Of Faith, delivered a lecture as part of Sojourn’s 2008 Cultivate Beauty Festival at The 930 on “What Creative People Can Learn From The Creation.”

Dr. Best touched on everything from abstract art (“the precedent for abstract art is not the tail end of the 19th century — it is God’s creation of the universe”) to popular culture (“It’s not bad that popular culture is shallow, it’s that it is locked in to shallowness and refuses to have inter-course with depth”) to Chaos Theory, artistic accountability, the generational divide in music and throughout the arts, and much more.  I learned a lot from this lecture, as I always do from Dr. Best.  Whether you’re reading his words in a book, listening to him lecture in a hall or classroom, or conversing with him in an informal setting, his wisdom and humility shine through. 

I’m sure you will benefit from ”What Creative People Can Learn From The Creation,” as I did.
