This lecture attempts to analyse the evolution of western worldviews as expressed through major art movements from antiquity to post-modernism and explore the cultural shifts across the ages that transforms western civilisation from a pre- to post-Christian era as reflected in its art. Throughout this journey, we will explore the role that the arts play in humanity&#8217;s quest for truth, goodness, and beauty and its implication for the church.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c4f8a7e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c4f8a7e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a400221 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a400221\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">\u6ce8\u518c<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0916f2f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0916f2f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hybrid event \u2014 available online &amp; onsite<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24a97ce elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"24a97ce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"https:\/\/www.cognitoforms.com\/f\/seamless.js\" data-key=\"IW7SzJYLPEa96K8jyNcDaw\" data-form=\"269\"><\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Journey through Western art\u2014from Antiquity to Post-Modernism\u2014and discover how shifting worldviews shaped culture, civilisation, and faith.
