This is an “introduction” to our introduction on Jack Baumgartner’s painting, which is titled “His Eyes Are Like a Fiery Flame” (2024). Thus, we begin to talk about the book of Revelation. Some themes that surface are active sight vs. passive sight, the healing properties of art, and creativity as spiritual warfare. Take a look at the chapter headings below to see the ground we cover.

Many thanks to Jack for playing the banjo for us at the beginning!
