NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA

Q u a l i t y The Bible and its Author are my focus, not the art:
this is The Bible in Paintings, not “Great Paintings” nor even “Good Paintings.” So, works need not be masterpieces to qualify for inclusion here—they don’t need to be housed at the Louvre nor auctioned by Sotheby’s. They only need to illustrate successfully some aspect of the Biblical text or, frankly, just tickle my fancy, which I'm asking the Holy Spirit to guide. Often, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.

P a c i n gThe pace may seem glacial to those eager to see their favorite events. My commission is to search for art on each Bible passage in sequence; if I find enough, then it becomes the next installment, even if undramatic. But where there is no art, that Bible passage goes untold here. The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing. Always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!

S e q u e n c i n g The Protestant Canon does not—indeed, cannot—follow a strictly chronological sequence. There are many examples where, for God's good purposes, stories are told out-of-order. Nevertheless, for the sake of simplicity, clarity, and my sanity, I have chosen to proceed linearly and methodically from Genesis onward, illustrating each Bible passage as we come to it. Where two passages cover the same incident I omit the second telling, excepting the four Gospels which I treat synoptically. Now, onward!

Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I’m just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.

[Hebrews 11:6]

the word “lyric”, originating with the lyre

Never even occurred to me. Thanks.

You were blessed to hear him in person. I first heard a recording 30 years ago, Bach’s Partita, I think. I thought it was two guitars playing.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Music Center in LA—early-to-mid ‘70s. Besides his chair and guitar, he was the only thing on-stage. Packed house, played from memory for two hours : MESMERIZING, UNFORGETTABLE VIRTUOSO PERFORMANCE. I’m probably wrong, but I think his acoustic guitar was unamplified—I certainly recall listening very intently, along with the other 5,000 or so.

[Albion Wilde]

Beautiful!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Hard to top stained glass. Don’t suppose they’ll have it in heaven....

[Albion Wilde]

Well, there will be that glassy pond around the throne (Rev. 4:6)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad it’s no longer a moat!

[Maudeen]

At the Holy Spirit's prompting, I am surveying "Bible art" to give God glory

You certainly are!

[Hebrews 11:6]

It is a joy and blessing.
