"Christians ... ought not to be threatened by fantasy and the imagination. ... The Old Testament art commanded by God was not always 'photographic.' There were blue pomegranates on the robes of the priest when he went into the Holy of Holies. In nature there are no blue pomegranates. . . . The Christian is the really free man--he is free to have imagination. This too is our heritage. The Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars."


Francis Schaeffer, Art and the Bible
