There are a dizzying number of Kanye West hot takes on the internet right now. The internet being the internet, Kanye’s dramatic conversion to Christianity (and new album Jesus Is King) have become a proxy for everyone’s pet cause. But largely lost in the endless array of “Kanye means _____” commentaries is the beautiful, worshipful album itself, and the accompanying IMAX film. I was graciously in South America when the album released last weekend, so I missed out on most of the frenzied social media commentary. But I did listen to the album in my Bogota hotel room Friday night—and it was a transcendent experience. When I returned home I quickly found an IMAX theater where I could watch the accompanying Jesus Is King short film, and it was even more worshipful.

Whatever meaning we make of Kanye’s conversion—and there is a lot to make of it, as Eugene Park’s helpful article below attests—don’t miss out on the beauty of the art itself. Quite simply, the Jesus Is King album and film (mesmerizingly set in Quaker artist James Turrell’s Roden Crater) are masterpieces of liturgical art: minimalist, contemplative, theologically orthodox, and humbly submitted to the glory of God. I’ll likely be wrestling with “what it all means” for months. But for now I’m simply doing what the album and film want us do: worship Jesus, the King of Kings.
