Download or read book The Bible in Art Classic Reprint written by Estell M. Hurll and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-13 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible in Art The aim of this book is to trace the develop ment of Bible illustration from the crude pic tures of the catacombs to the great art which embodied in visible form the Bible Beautiful. The story is carried through the art of vari ous countries, and is brought down to the work of the present day. By covering so much ground, even in this brief way, we are able to get some sense of the continuity of our sub ject, some idea of its place in the whole his tory of art. And, as we go along, we can scarcely fail to see that no one can understand the great art monuments who does not know his Bible. It may perhaps be equally true such indeed was Ruskin's belief that no one can in any large sense understand the Bible itself until he has learned to read the art com mentaries upon it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroines of the Bible in Art In order to accomplish these vast artistic labours, artists of genius had a following of men of lesser powers who be came their imitators - occasionally their superiors - and formed their so-called schools; thus great numbers were em ployed, from the colour-grinders - some of whom became famous painters - to the favourite followers who, like Giulio Romano and Francesco Penni, were per mitted to execute important works from the cartoons of their masters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rembrandt, the Jews and the Bible These considerations influenced me to prepare the following pages, which do not present the whole of Rembrandt, but merely that phase of his life and work which has bearing upon his relation to the Jews and to their Holy Scriptures. This phase, however, should prove the more deeply satisfying to us, because it lay not upon the periphery of his personality, but at its very core. For this reason I offer the present work to the consideration of those who. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Sacred Art written by Alfred George Temple and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sacred Art: The Bible Study Pictured by Eminent Modern Painters HE present work has been designed for the purpose of interpreting the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation by the medium of such works of Art as have occupied the promi nent painters of modern tinies. The painters whose pictures are reproduced are not re stricted to those of the British School, but embrace those of Continental Schools, notably the French, where the interpretation of Scriptural events-has been treated in an original manner, with a degree of expression and vigour that enables the beholder to instantly and clearly grasp the spirit or sentiment of the work. This is notably instanced in the practical effect conveyed of an outcast - a wanderer upon the earth - in Cormon's Cain, where no metaphysical or poetical meaning is attempted, but a stern portrayal is given of the actual effect of the curse. For poetical attributes we must turn to such works as the beautiful representations of the Creation of Light or the Creation of Man, by burne-jones; but these differing phases of the painters' outlook are calculated to give to the work that variety of individual expression which, while attractive in itself, enlarges in a great measure, with the aid of such notes as will be given, the region into which the thought and emotion of the beholder are drawn.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and the East Within the present century we have witnessed not only the recovery of unhoped-for sources of knowledge, and the growth of sciences founded on painful gathering of unknown facts, but revolutions not less remarkable in the principles on which studies of every kind are founded. Comparative examination of independent facts is now the basis of all true knowledge, and the comparison grows ever wider. The slow growth of the future from the past is accepted as explaining all that has happened in our world, and the decay of all that once flourished is not less to be remembered in tracing history aright.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and Modern Thought For a man to profess beliefs which his heart and mind do not endorse is, in their eyes, akin to sacrilege and degrades and darkens the man's own soul. Hence to-day, when Bible or creed contradict verified facts of science, history, or conscience, man's heart pulls in one direction, his head in another. He feels acutely the wrench of breaking with his Old creed, but his principles forbid him to force his head to keep step with his heart when the two clash.

His eagle eye discerns among the crowd, yet apart from it, a young man in peasant garb, who draws nigh, and stands beside him. His long owing hair is in color like the gold of Ophir. There is that in him that attracts and binds one as by some magic force. Love and power seem to ow out from the very face and form - a form of majesty, yet of graciousness; a face, soft, appealing, full of love and holy purpose, yet with all the power of command and will.

Download or read book The New Testament Today Classic Reprint written by Ernest Findlay Scott and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-18 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Testament Today Arouse suspicions of its message than those attempts to conceal or explain away the facts of its origin. The time has surely come when we should try to exchange the old attitude to scripture for one that will be more consistent with the results of modern enquiry. These results, it may be granted, are often one-sided, and in every matter of detail are Open to revision. Those who are best acquainted with them will be the first to admit that they are by no means final. But the main conclu sions at which modern scholars have arrived can no longer be questioned, and have to be taken into account in our estimate of the book. If it is to exercise its proper influence on the new age it must be presented as it really is, not as an ignorant piety has imagined it. The aim of the following chapters is to help, in some small way, towards the new presentation. The book of the primitive church was composed so long ago, out of so many strange elements, that it might seem to have nothing but a historical interest for the mind of our time. Yet it has proved itself, - and never more so than in these changeful days, - to be the most living of all books. Its conceptions of man's needs and duties, of his relation to God and to his fellow-men, have stood every test, and are likely to be enduring. How is it that the ancient book has this permanent value? It was formerly assumed that the riddle could only be answered by a theory of direct inspiration; but such a theory is no longer possible, nor is it necessary. Nothing essen tial is lost to the New Testament when we allow for the historical process whereby it came into being. Its permanent message becomes in many ways more intel ligible, and can be applied more closely to actual needs and circumstances. In any case, the book must be understood in the light of modern knowledge before it can fully appeal to the modern world. In these days.
