Moses | The Bible Artist

Welcome to...

The Bible Artist

I believe the Arts can give us fresh eyes to see the significance of the Bible and the beauty of the Gospel.

I also believe the Bible can provide the arts with complex characters and stories with profound insight into the human condition.

Join me as I explore biblical adaptations like The Chosen and seek to cultivate greater appreciation for creativity, the arts, and adaptation within the Christian community.
