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.

[left that other site]

I remember reading about that.

I believe it was the “Pill” they were testing, and, yes, it would have that effect of synchronization.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I believe I heard that story in a Marketing class at USC’s School of Business about 1973, and the Pill was late ‘60s or so.

[left that other site]

Well, there ya go.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

“Your insight into Jonah’s dishevelled post-ejection appearance has company. I’ve seen speculation that the effect of three days’ partial immersion in the sea-critter’s gastric juices so bleached and ravaged Jonah’s skin, hair, etc., that his horrific appearance played a substantial role in the sudden universal conversion of the Ninehvites.

Image #33 today and #53 yesterday hint at that.

That would be powerful testimony. ‘you really don’t want to...’”

Yes indeed. Add that to the fact the Ninehvites worshipped Dagon the fish god. Here you have the world’s largest fish spitting out a live human who then preaches God (of the Hebrews) is angry with you. God already proved His ability to use fish as a transportation device and as a life capsule. Doesn’t that prove that He is greater than Dagon?

[Hebrews 11:6]

Didn’t know they were Dagonites. Reformed? Charismatic? Filleted?

Thanks!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Jonah has a happy ending and was fun to present.
