The Artistic Vision episodes
- Hans Boersma-A Sacramental Vision in a Material Age
Join The Artistic Vision as we welcome renowned theologian Hans Boersma to explore how Christian artists can cultivate a sacramental vision in today’s asymbolic age. Boersma unpacks the deep connection between art, theology, and the presence of God, urging artists to become instruments of grace through their work. Discover how a sacramental imagination transforms artistic practice, allowing creators to draw others into sacred encounter. This episode is essential for Christian creatives, faith-driven artists, and anyone seeking to reclaim beauty, meaning, and spiritual depth in art.
Hans Boersma
Dr. Boersma is a prolific and internationally noted theologian, came to Nashotah House in 2019. Prior to this, he taught at Regent College in Vancouver, Canada for fourteen years. Dr. Boersma also taught for six years at Trinity Western University in Langley, BC, and served several years in the local church as a pastor. Along the way, Dr. Boersma has emerged as a leading voice among Protestant and evangelical theologians exploring and appropriating the riches of the Catholic tradition.
Dr. Boersma’s interests range across a variety of areas: patristic theology, twentieth-century Catholic thought, and spiritual interpretation of Scripture. In each of these areas, he sets out to retrieve the sacramental ontology of the pre-modern tradition. This retrieval (ressourcement) of the Great Tradition’s sacramental view of reality has been at the heart of his publications over the past fifteen years.
Dr. Boersma and his wife Linda have five children and thirteen grandchildren (and their Golden Retriever Penny deserves special mention). Dr. Boersma serves as a priest in the Anglican Church in North America.Follow us on Instagram:
