Download or read book Heavenly Participation written by Hans Boersma and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying the barriers that contemporary thinking has erected between the natural and the supernatural, between earth and heaven, Hans Boersma issues a wake-up call for Western Christianity. Both Catholics and evangelicals, he says, have moved too far away from a sacramental mindset, focusing more on the "here-and-now" than on the "then-and-there." Yet, as Boersma points out, the teaching of Jesus, Paul, and St. Augustine -- indeed, of most of Scripture and the church fathers -- is profoundly otherworldly, much more concerned with heavenly participation than with earthly enjoyment. In Heavenly Participation Boersma draws on the wisdom of great Christian minds ancient and modern -- Irenaeus, Gregory of Nyssa, C. S. Lewis, Henri de Lubac, John Milbank, and many others. He urges Catholics and evangelicals alike to retrieve a sacramental worldview, to cultivate a greater awareness of eternal mysteries, to partake eagerly of the divine life that transcends and transforms all earthly realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It had seemed like an eternity since The Artist was given the plan for the tapestry. He'd been waiting for this moment""the exact moment He would be given the opportunity to begin weaving. He had planned for this, but until He was given permission, He could only anticipate what He could do and how it would look. Now was that time. He stepped in front of the tattered and worn-looking tapestry. It wasn't at all what He had intended. In fact, it was quite the opposite. What should have become beautiful and vibrant over time was instead deteriorating and coming apart. Who had done this? The Artist knew exactly what needed to be done. No question. He would have to start over . . . with a new canvas. The tapestry was ready to be dismantled so that the true condition of the canvas could be revealed. He began to methodically and precisely remove each strand of thread so as not to cause even more damage to what had already been done. The tapestry was fragile now. Strand by strand, the dismantling continued until finally The Artist had uncovered all the hidden imperfections. It was just as He thought it would be""stained, torn, and tattered. Years of neglect and abuse to the tapestry had left it damaged, so damaged that in an amateur's eyes, it would have been discarded. But this was The Artist . . . would He be able to repair what had been done? What would He determine? Did the canvas have any value? The Artist had the plan, and what He could do with this canvas would be beyond what anyone could imagine. He was about to create His masterpiece.

Download or read book Woven Gold written by Charissa Bremer-David and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meticulously woven by hand with wool, silk, and gilt-metal thread, the tapestry collection of the Sun King, Louis XIV of France, represents the highest achievements of the art form. Intended to enhance the king’s reputation by visualizing his manifest glory and to promote the kingdom’s nascent mercantile economy, the royal collection of tapestries included antique and contemporary sets that followed the designs of the greatest artists of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, Rubens, Vouet, and Le Brun. Ranging in date from about 1540 to 1715 and coming from weaving workshops across northern Europe, these remarkable works portray scenes from the bible, history, and mythology. As treasured textiles, the works were traditionally displayed in the royal palaces when the court was in residence and in public on special occasions and feast days. They are still little known, even in France, as they are mostly reserved for the decoration of elite state residences and ministerial offices. This catalogue accompanies an exhibition of fourteen marvelous examples of the former royal collection that will be displayed exclusively at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center from December 15, 2015, to May 1, 2016. Lavishly illustrated, the volume presents for the first time in English the latest scholarship of the foremost authorities working in the field.

Download or read book Book of Beasts written by Elizabeth Morrison and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2019 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A celebration of the visual contributions of the bestiary--one of the most popular types of illuminated books during the Middle Ages--and an exploration of its lasting legacy. Brimming with lively animals both real and fantastic, the bestiary was one of the great illuminated manuscript traditions of the Middle Ages. Encompassing imaginary creatures such as the unicorn, siren, and griffin; exotic beasts including the tiger, elephant, and ape; as well as animals native to Europe like the beaver, dog, and hedgehog, the bestiary is a vibrant testimony to the medieval understanding of animals and their role in the world. So iconic were the stories and images of the bestiary that its beasts essentially escaped from the pages, appearing in a wide variety of manuscripts and other objects, including tapestries, ivories, metalwork, and sculpture. With over 270 color illustrations and contributions by twenty-five leading scholars, this gorgeous volume explores the bestiary and its widespread influence on medieval art and culture as well as on modern and contemporary artists like Pablo Picasso and Damien Hirst. Published to accompany an exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center May 14 to August 18, 2019.

Download or read book Knowing God written by Michael Hardin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowing God? is an indictment of Protestant American Christianity in its failure to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Consumer Christianity is laid bare before the gospel and found wanting. After exposing the superstition of American Christianity, Hardin examines the gospel narrative and demonstrates that a truly Jesus-oriented approach must be non-sacrificial in all its ways. Like Jeremiah, Kierkegaard, or the early Barth, Knowing God? rings with a clarion call for followers of Jesus to ask what the Christian life looks like and is all about.
