Christopher Powers is a pastor, artist, and the creator of Full of Eyes, a ministry that seeks to visually proclaim the glory of God taught in Scripture. Our conversation covers a variety of topics: What is visual exegesis? What does it mean to be full of eyes? And why are the symbolic dimensions of Scripture so important? Christopher also walks us through a few pieces of exegetical art and explains how the rich symbolism points us to Christ. It's a spiritual feast, full of insights that I'm still mulling over and cherishing in my heart.

About 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 I’ve been a fan of Bible art for most of my life, and so over the past few years on the Bible Artist blog I’ve been exploring popular Bible adaptations like The Chosen and I’ve been encouraging Christian communities to discuss and engage with the arts.
