About Imagination Redeemed
We love the great stories from our books and movies. Why can’t we encounter God with the same air of wonder?
Imagination Redeemed is a gathering of people who long for God’s mysteries to be illuminated more clearly on the stage of our world; to find His handiwork everywhere; and to see His people filled will the kind of stories, songs, and ideas that awaken them to their parts in the Great Drama.
In the fourth year of the flagship event of the Anselm Society, the two-day conference will delve into the most beloved works of literature, music, film, and other art forms—from Narnia to Asgard, from the Beatles to Beethoven—and equip us with the lost tools to bring their magic into our daily faith.
About the Anselm Society
I thought I was the only one who felt this way about books…music…art…that they could teach us something profound about the Maker who gave us this deep longing for beauty in the first place.
No, you’re not the only one.
And in past eras, you likely would have known this because the Christian community--the church--was where all the best art a culture had on offer could be found.
Sadly, modern American Christianity isn’t where most people with thirsty imaginations typically turn.
The Anselm Society exists to change that. Our dream is the reunification of the church and the arts.
A renaissance of the Christian imagination.. Learn more.
