Book Description
"The lordship of Christ should include an interest in the arts," writes Francis Schaeffer. "A Christian should use these arts to the glory of God, not just as tracts, mind you, but as things of beauty to the praise of God." Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God. Art and the Bible has been a foundational work for generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor, Schaeffer explains why "the Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars."

The Morgan Bible was designed to bring to life a number of selected Old Testament stories, through making them as appealing and entertaining as possible by placing biblical heroes in contemporary settings.The beautifully illustrated Book of Kings also offers the reader a unique insight into politics, religion, and culture of 13th century France. Eight essays by noted international medieval scholars of history and art, bring the court and crusades of King Louis IX (later Saint Louis) to life. Moreover, they demonstrate the relevance of Old Testament stories and imagery both in the 13th century France and in 17th century Iran, when the Picture Bible belonged to the great Safavid ruler Shah Abbas.William Noel and Daniel WeissPublished in association with the Walters Art Museum, Baltimore

Book Description
Since it was first published nearly three decades ago, The Art of Biblical Narrative has radically expanded the horizons of biblical scholarship by recasting the Bible as a work of literary art deserving studied criticism. Renowned critic and translator Robert Alter presents the Hebrew Bible as a cohesive literary work, one whose many authors used innovative devices such as parallelism, contrastive dialogue, and narrative tempo to tell one of the most revolutionary stories of human history: the revelation of a single god.
