Gregory Wolfe on the Christian Artist, and more
Welcome to Quiddity, the original podcast from the CiRCE Institute, featuring interviews and ideas that are important to Christian classical education.
In this episode, David Kern chats on the phone with Gregory Wolfe, editor of IMAGE Journal and author of the new book The Operation of Grace: Further Essays on Art, Faith, and Mystery. Topics of conversation include what it means to be a Christian artist, cultivating the next great Flannery O'Connors, and why IMAGE changed its subtitle.
