The following quotes are from an article I found online when I searched for information and insight about the quote that says, "The glory of God is man fully alive":
"What we need is not the notion of a world that ought to be but the capacity to see the dimension of grace within the world that is."
"The film director Kurosawa said that the “artist is the one who does not look away.” The artist maintains her gaze at human neediness and dependency and through the honesty and the beauty of the form she creates enables us to connect that need with its true source and lasting fulfillment."
"To paraphrase the art historian Hans Rookmaaker, 'Christ did not come to make us Christians; he came to make us human beings.'"
"The artist does not show us the world as it ought to be; she shows us the world as it is, here and now, and enables us to see that our redemption is always present, always available. It is not a message to be communicated but a presence and a mystery to be experienced. Art at its best is a place where presence and mystery can be encountered and received."
