To: Hebrews 11:6

I reviewed the art and saw how the artists influenced each other.

I also looked for a depiction of this verse: “ the earth closed over them, and they perished and were gone from the community.”

but no one showed the ground closed up.

I very much enjoy reading your carefully-considered comments. They add substantially to my appreciation of the art's scriptural nexus, which is the whole point here.

but no one showed the ground closed up

Artists favor the dramatic ("look at them falling!") over the mundane ("where'd they go?"). This is a tiny example of what I face daily: not finding enough art to tell the story fully, which is my ideal. It's exactly why I promote The Chosen so fervently, because in it the Scripture comes fully alive.
