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. 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 or eight 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). Anticipating a canvas of fifty-plus hours instead of a movie's paltry two hours, The Chosen turns the characters into three-dimensional humans and brings the Gospels alive.
With the subject of Eve's Temptation, I cannot refrain from recommending CS Lewis' finest work (in his own opinion as expressed to his biographer), Perelandra, the middle book of his Space Trilogy. Its core is the most profound and imaginative dialogue ever written, twenty pages of Satan tempting and Eve resisting.
