[Hebrews 11:6]

I am surveying "Bible art" for my own amusement and learning (at the Spirit's prompting) and thought others might enjoy it, too. The Bible encourages us to meditate on it (Ps. 1:1-3, 119:11-16, etc.), and these artists have done so and their works can assist us and enrich our own thoughts about biblical characters and incidents and concepts. My intent is to proceed methodically left-to right, Genesis to Revelation, as the Lord wills. Back soon with another.

But it is not only oil-on-canvas that can so help us; I refer to the astonishing video series The Chosen, which strolls through the four Gospels at the most leisurely pace. The eight episodes of Season 1 are finished, and the second of a planned seven seasons is coming soon. I say "leisurely" because after an entire year Jesus still has only seven of the apostles (although He's preparing to call up Thomas from the minor leagues--but Thomas is skeptical, of course). Anticipating a canvas of fifty-plus hours instead of a movie's paltry two hours, The Chosen turns the characters (including Jesus!) into three-dimensional humans and brings the Gospels alive--you have never seen anything even remotely like it!

Tissot, Dore, and Rembrandt, all in one post! :-)

Awesome!

Abraham’s rekindled potency causing the birth of Isaac wasn’t a one-time flash in the pan. Abe lived 26 years after that, Sarah died, and Abe remarried and sired 6 more children. Look it up.
