Image Profile in the National Catholic Reporter
Last week, the National Catholic Reporter published a piece profiling Image journal and its editor, Gregory Wolfe. The piece, written by Erin Ryan and entitled “A Bridge Between Religion and the Arts,” highlights how Image came to be—beginning with Wolfe’s transformation from what he calls “a conservative ‘culture warrior’” to a Christian humanist whose love of art began to undermine his previous “tendencies toward... ideological politics.” The article also explores the role that Wolfe’s conversion to Catholicism played in his vision for a new journal that saw art, like the Incarnation, as something that “brings together those two poles of human and divine, justice and mercy, all these different tensions in which we live.” Read the article to find out why Wolfe does not believe that our modern culture is going to hell in a hand basket… and for a glimpse into the vision behind the founding of a journal that has, over the last twenty years, grown beyond a handsome print journal into a flourishing suite of programs.
