JOHN THE APOSTLE
By Leavie scott — Faith & History Chronicle When speaking about the earliest followers of Jesus, few figures carry the same combination of historical depth and spiritual symbolism as John the Apostle, often remembered as “the beloved disciple.” Born around 6–15 AD in Galilee, John emerged from a world marked by Jewish identity, Roman occupation, and the evolving spiritual landscape that eventually gave rise to global Christianity. According to historical sources, John was born into a Jewish fishing family in the region of Galilee, with his father Zebedee and brother James working the rich waters of the Sea of Galilee.

The Marketplace of Vision
In the early hours before the rush of the workday, there is a quiet ritual many artists practice: checking the studio, straightening prints, wiping a fingerprint from acrylic, studying compositions in morning light. For the modern digital artist, that ritual often happens across a screen—yet the care is identical. Files are reviewed like negatives from a darkroom. Tones are balanced. Titles are chosen with intent. And with a click, the studio door opens not to a physical street, but to a global thoroughfare of collectors, curators, and casual art lovers who pass by, pause, and sometimes carry a piece of the artist’s vision back into their lives.

I don’t care much for alarmist claims, especially when they concern the right and wrong ways to enjoy culture, but it’s hard to deny a shift hasn’t occurred. The “Post-Literate” world seems to be one where text, as a source of information and entertainment, has been overtaken by audiovisual media; podcasts, videos, streams, VoD, and TikToks.
