The Church, in many ways, has distanced itself, sadly to say, from art, but art can still teach the truth of Scripture. We live in a very visual culture even though we have gotten away from classical paintings. People don't tend to open up a book and read these days, so classical paintings are an excellent way to teach God's Word. The neat thing about images is they don't invade, but they invite, and you are drawn to them. Art speaks loudly while remaining silent.
