Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 11th century, stained glass has infused the sanctuary with "scripture held up to the light". Through the release of brilliant hues, the power and mystery of God's story has been told to billions throughout the centuries. This feast of light and color continues to elicit spiritual, emotional, and aesthetic reactions, even in the midst of technological sophistication. God's Story Through God's Light guides the modern liturgical committee through the stained glass design process, and suggests the appropriate long-range plan of restoration, protection, and insulation. After inspecting the stained glass of two thousand American churches and synagogues, Dr. Gary M. Gray now shares this vital knowledge with those assigned to create and perpetuate the spiritual message to present and future generations.
Download or read book Embracing the Ivory Tower and Stained Glass Windows written by Jennifer Baldwin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-17 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together contributions from scholars from Europe and the United States to honor the theological work of Antje Jackelén, the first female Archbishop of the Church of Sweden. In Archbishop Antje Jackelén’s installation homily, she identifies the strength of the Church as a “global network of prayer threads.” This book is an honorary and celebratory volume providing a “global network of prayerful essays” by contributors from a variety of academic disciplines to creatively engage, reflect, and illuminate the theological work of Archbishop Jackelén. Prior to her tenure in the Church of Sweden as Bishop of the Diocese of Lund and now the Archbishop of the Church of Sweden, Jackelén served as professor of Systematic Theology, Director of the Zygon Center and President of European Society for the Study of Science and Religion (ESSSAT). While each essay intentionally embraces the theological and ministerial work of Jackelén during her academic tenure, they also venture into areas as diverse as climate change, media studies, human uniqueness, hermeneutics, time, ethics, Christian theological tradition and history, traumatology, politics and society. As the first diverse explication of the theological thinking of Archbishop Jackelén by her theological colleagues, this text provides scholars with an expansion of the scope of Archbishop Jackelén’s theological thinking and initiates laity into the impact of Jackelén thinking that combines with grace and precision the traditions of the Church, the challenges and gifts of the sciences, and the needs and longings of society and the world.

In God's Word Through Glass you'll experience the artistry of six stained glass masterpieces while discovering and discussing the scriptural inspiration behind each one. You'll explore the themes of overruling God, resisting leaders, immediate gratification, easy answers, mocking holiness, and comfortable religion. Each of the six sessions includes: • Broken Pieces—an introductory, group-building activity that gives members an opportunity to share opinions about the main theme of study • The Artist's Touch—an examination of the work, life, and thoughts of the artist • The Master's Light—a Bible study that places the work of the artist within biblical context • Piecing It Together—discussion questions that encourage group members to apply the principles of the study to daily life Additionally, each study features margin notes, tips for projecting the art, definitions of art terms, and suggested supplemental resources for further exploration.

Download or read book Change and Confusion in Catholicism written by Nathan R. Kollar and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-07 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a liminal time. The anthropologist Victor Turner describes liminality as a time of severe disorientation for individuals and societies that lies between one stage of life and another. All the former signposts that provided people with an identity are in a state of upheaval as they transit between these stages. This book uses the lifelong personal and professional experiences of the author to analyse how Catholics experience liminality today and dealt with it yesterday. It provides the reader with an historical case study of frightening experiences, both in teaching what to expect during such a time and what to assume when it ends.

Download or read book The Fayre Formez of the Pearl Poet written by Sandra Pierson Prior and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book differs from most previous studies of the Pearl poet by treating all of his works as a whole. Prior’s purpose is to identify the underlying poetics of this major body of English poetry. Drawing on both the visual imagery of medieval art (the study includes 18 full-page illustrations) and the verbal imagery of the Bible and other literary sources, Prior shows how the poet’s "fayre formez" are the result of a coherent and self-conscious view of the artist’s craft.
