Creativity

"But, ancient Greece and ancient Rome - people did not happen to believe that creativity came from human beings back then, OK? People believed that creativity was this divine attendant spirit that came to human beings from some distant and unknowable source, for distant and unknowable reasons."

Elizabeth Gilbert

Where do you believe creativity comes from?

As a Christian, I disagree with this quote. Creativity comes from us being created in the image of God. He is The Creator of all creators. He is and was the most creative when he created the universe in such detail. We are his craftsmanship.

And as a Christian, I pray that all of my creations point back to him.

I am still curious to hear your thoughts on creativity. What is it? and Where does it come from?

The short book, or essay titled, Art and The Bible, by Francis Schaeffer is a great read on the topic of Christianity and art. You can also find it on audio.
