NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA

A r t 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." Indeed, occasionally photographs illustrate the text. 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 always 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.

T e x t S e q u e n c i n g

The Protestant Canon does not (for several reasons) 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 will treat synoptically. Now, onward!

P a c i n g

The pace here may seem appallingly snail-like to those eager to see their favorite events illustrated. 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 little or no art, that Bible passage goes untold here).

Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything; if I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest. Rather, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?

The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!

. .

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]

True enough. Perhaps you heard that recently they destroyed a statue of fabled Father Junipero Serra, who famously built missions to the Indians in early California.

More to the point, they won't stop with statues: Christians themselves are their next course.

Certainly a strong candidate for Image of the Day.

#200 . . . a milestone! The animation link didn’t work for me. LMK if it is just me.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Should have omitted it altogether, as I did the other three links, because I did not include any text. They’ll all work tomorrow.

One of the many things I love about FR is that it supports HTML.

I marvel regularly at the foresight Jim and John employed in designing this wonderful site.

Indeed.

Thank for the ping! ;)

Here's an Oldie --- well, it's an Oldie where I come from:

You know those two sticks you've been looking for?

The two Hebrew letters that look like actual tree branches (i.e. forked, not just straight lines) are the ayin and tzaddi sofit:

ayin: ע

tzaddi sofit (the final form used at the end of a word): ץ

Join them together into one word, and they spell the word "stick" (etz, the same as "tree"):

עץ

Easy peasy! They just became one stick/tree in my hand, merely by writing the word. Anyone can do it. Mysteries of the universe hide in plain sight. :)

In case anyone doubts that the Master of the Universe is THE KING... of comedy and all puns under the sun, behold:

Ezekiel 37

15. And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
16. And you, son of man, take one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the people of Israel his companions; then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions:
17. And join them one to the other into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand:
18. And when your people shall speak to you, saying; Will you not tell us what you mean by these:
19. Say to them, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions, and will put them with him, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand:
20. And the sticks on which you write shall be in your hand before their eyes:
21. And say to them, Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I will take the people of Israel from among the nations, where they have gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22. And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all; and they shall be no more two nations, nor shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

The land of grace is the place. Graceland. Just check out that address [of "the king"],

Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Take a look at yourself
And you can look at others differently
Put your hand in the hand of the man
From Galilee.

Put Your Hand in the Hand ~ Elvis Presley

Ezekiel 37:17 And join them one to the other into one stick; and they shall become one in your hand:

"Ezekiel with Angle for Surveying the New Temple":

Luke 18

7 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

Time for a new angle! :)

Wait 'til the Messiah is revealed. Sooooo totally worth the wait! There's no competition. Verse 37:22 even reveals that he has the amazing ability to herd cats, ha.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks for blessing us so with all that!!! Your enjoyment of and enthusiasm for our Lord ("Wait 'til the Messiah is revealed. Sooooo totally worth the wait! There's no competition.") bespeaks the manifest fulfillment in you--and OUT of you!--of Jesus' prophecy to the woman at the well:
Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said,
rivers of living water will flow from within them.

[Ezekiel]

A sailor walks on water and thinks nothing of it. Just another day in the life on the sea.

Join the navi, see the world:

Isaiah 55

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people.

Like with the sticks/trees -- this stuff is way more literal than people think.

[Hebrews 11:6]

this stuff is way more literal than people think.

It is thrilling, the ultimate E-Ticket (and I remember the actual E-Tickets) to watch--and assist--Scripture's literal, detailed fulfillment. All of us check out from Earth with the show still in progress, but our next vantage points will be better still.
