The dominent well-marketed Christian music, art, architecture,etc., in our time seems to me too mushy, too familiar. It does not often communicate the reality expressed in Isaiah55:9. A challenge for the Christian artist is communicating the full mysterious richness of Jesus, to the best degree that we can: His familiar physicality combined with His Deity. Thank you for this fine essay. I will put this Isaiah verse on my studio wall. The Isaiah verse you quoted reminds one of God’s sublime grandeur.

That's all..no other great insights on my part....but I have to say, that I think a lot of the draw the "emergent church" and more non-traditional style of church has been this idea of approaching scripture, etc., away from a scientific lens, and looking at it more mysteriously.
