In this lecture, Greg begins with a discussion of philosophical theology as it relates to music, creation and human striving. He talks about the ‘seriousness’ of the Arts, how they close in on meaning and evoke a sense of life’s significance. 

“Art seems to get closer to the soul. Stories suggest life is more than random. Movies suggest life is more magical. Music suggests life is more significant.” 
To explore the interplay between music and meaning, Greg highlights the creative work of U2’s Bono, and the Australian artist, Nick Cave. 

Dr Greg Clarke has spent thirty years exploring the connections between Christianity and the arts. Holding a doctorate in Literature from the University of Sydney, Greg has led university centres, media companies and charities striving to communicate Christianity in public contexts. His book The Great Bible Swindle was awarded the ‘Australian Christian Book of the Year’ in 2013.
