Synopsis


The Reformation would not have been possible if it were not for the Renaissance.

Out of the ashes of the Black Death and “bloodiest century in human history” that closed the Dark Ages, human history hinged around the corner of “the rebirth”—the Renaissance. For better or worse, this unprecedented period of explosive creativity and scientific development propelled civilization headlong into the Enlightenment. Incredibly, the Church strategically leveraged new means of the era to shift global consciousness. Nothing quite like it has happened since—but the biblical testimony invites artists and creatives into a “better Renaissance” for the ultimate hinge of human history: the coming of the Son of Man. As wars, crises, and conflicts mount, may we bear strategic, beautiful witness to the Better Beautiful.

Citing Scriptural, empirical, and historical evidence of mankind’s reliance on beauty, 'Ruins of the Renaissance' illuminates the strengths and shortcomings of this historical epoch, and provokes the Body of Jesus to leverage beautiful means to declare the beautiful Truth: Christ crucified, resurrected, and returning in glory. Maranatha.
