Engaging Wisely with Media
A 20-Week Devotional Plan for the Arts
Members of the faculty, staff, and student body of DTS have prepared a twenty-week series of devotionals to help you bring biblical wisdom and theological perspective to your engagement with media. In this weekly devotional plan, we invite you to spend time with one artwork—story, movie, poem, painting, song, and more—each week (or at your preferred pace, in the case of Middlemarch!) and ask God to be present and speak to you in those moments. When paired with Scripture passages, what insights do these works bring to the surface? What conversations with other people might you begin by starting with artworks like these?
