Mark DeRaud video interview

In these short videos below, I interview Mark DeRaud, founder of Art n Soul
(here you see some of his art) for our class; he


discusses the Reformation, art/images, and the convergence of Pentecostalism/Orthodoxy.
Many of you will remember the amazing session he taught for our Preaching/Homiletics course.
