This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Portraits of the Archbishops of Canterbury The idea of this book was suggested by the Guardroom at Lambeth, round which hang the portraits of Arch bishops of Canterbury from Arundel to Longley, the series being complete from Warham onwards. In the gallery leading to the Guardroorn are the portraits of the three last Archbishops, the picture of Dunstan, and the miniature of Sancroft, a case containing archiepiscopal coins, and another case containing the impressions made from archiepiscopal seals. In the absence of any reliable portraits before the time of Warham, the earlier Arch bishops can only be represented by the effigies on their tombs, coins, and seals, and by such pictures as those of Dunstan and Arundel, which, though of very doubtful authenticity as portraits, are included since they form part of the collection at Lambeth. The picture. Of Alphege is taken from an illuminated ms. By Osbem, who wrote within eighty years of the Archbishop's death.

Download or read book Rowan s Rule written by Rupert Shortt and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02-24 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating, fair-minded depiction of Archbishop Rowan Williams. /Rowan Williams is a complex and controversial figure. Widely revered for his personal qualities, he is also an intellectual giant who towers over almost all his predecessors as Archbishop of Canterbury. Among other achievements, he has trounced the atheist Richard Dawkins, and published over twenty well-regarded books, including several volumes of poetry and a major study of Dostoevsky. / Yet he is also one of the most reviled church leaders in modern history. Long before facing calls to step down after his lecture on sharia law in early 2008, he had been accused of heresy on account of his pro-gay views. He has disappointed many of his own supporters as well. So how has high office changed Rowan Williams? Has he been bullied and manipulated? Or is he perhaps playing a long game, obliged to rate church unity above the pursuit of his own vision at a time when the Anglican Communion has never looked more unstable? / Rupert Shortt, already the author of an acclaimed introduction to the Archbishop's thought, offers answers to these and other questions in this authoritative biography. He explores how the events of the Archbishop's remarkable life have shaped his beliefs and practices today. Of particular interest is the riveting account of Williams's experience near the World Trade Center towers on the morning of September 11, 201. Written with Williams's cooperation, Rowan's Rule not only elucidates his ideas but gives a compelling portrait of a private and in some ways surprisingly vulnerable man.

Download or read book Delphi Complete Paintings of William Hogarth Illustrated written by William Hogarth and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2021-08-01 with total page 1434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Father of English painting, William Hogarth aspired to an art that would engage and delight ordinary citizens, rather than educated connoisseurs and critics, whom he despised. He achieved this ambition by creating a new type of painting, a comic strip-like series of pictures called ‘modern moral subjects’. Famous examples such as ‘A Harlot's Progress’, ‘A Rake's Progress’ and ‘Marriage A-la-Mode’ were reproduced en masse as popular engravings and were accessible to all. His work also provided a visual influence to the satirical works of England’s great men of letters. More importantly, Hogarth’s extraordinary achievement of securing a Copyright Act would benefit countless artists in all media to the present day. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail.
