Item description for Imaging the Word: An Arts and Lectionary Resource (Imaging The Word #3) by Pilgrim Press & ...
Overview
This book is the first of three volumes to unite images of artwork with Christian biblical lessons (in the form of "selected portions of scripture"). Among its uses the book may function as a contemplative tool for individuals and families involved in Bible study or as a resource for weekly devotional activities among church congregations. One definite attribute is the multicultural emphasis that endows each segment of the book with a broad range of art spanning ancient frescoes, a video still from the Tiananmen Square uprising, contemporary photography, and paintings as diverse as works by Rembrandt and Jacob Lawrence. The artwork embraces an ecumenical spirit and becomes the means to illustrating a stimulating trove of inspirational material.
Publishers Description
Imaging the Word is an award-winning, full-color, coffee-table-size book filled with some of the world's finest art. Imaginatively blended with the lectionary readings for each week of the year, the contents have been selected for multi-generational and multicultural appeal. Available in either hardcover or paperback, Imaging the Word includes -- along with the stunning artwork -- stories, music, drama, portions of scripts, liturgies, and Bible commentary. Inspirational and stimulating, Imaging offers a unique resource for church groups and for individuals in private study and devotion -- as well as a treasure for home use and for those planning worship. |

Reviews - What do customers think about Imaging the Word: An Arts and Lectionary Resource?
 | Excellent art book for all Christians Jan 11, 2001 |
| This is a thick soft cover art book that accompanies Biblical passages with art objects - paintings, sculptures from all cultures, Italian Renaissance to Modern Chinese water-colour that attempts to IMAGE the WORD - the gospel, and puts the love of Jesus in Christianity into a non-preachy, very emotionally and aesthetically moving document that appeals to the modern, intellectual, sophisticated, sensitive, cultured but atheist reader. It makes the Bible come alive in a fantasy of visual ecstasy. A marvellous gift for those who are hurting from a lack of understanding God's love. A spiritually soothing gift in a coffee-table book format. | | | | Excellent lectionary resource Aug 1, 2000 |
| One side-effect of the common lectionary used by Catholics, Episcopaleans, Lutheran, and various mainstream Protestant churches is the development of some excellent lectionary based resources. (A lectionary contains the Biblical readings for a given Sunday). This series of three volumes for the three year lectionary cycle (each year concentrates on a synoptic Gospel - Matthew, Mark or Luke) contains music, poetry, art, etc. that in some way reflect on the Scripture for a given Sunday. The volumes are carefully multicultural. An example: for the first Sunday in Advent, there are photos by Paul Chesley, David Austen and Dennis Oda;excerpts from Robert A. Raines and Jospeh Wood Krutch; poetry by Dom Helder Camara and Thomas John Carlisle; and a detail from art by Naul Ojeda. Each Sunday is equally diverse. You should always be able to find something that meets your needs and/or challenges you to reconsider your needs. Highly recommended. | | | | Excellent lectionary resource Aug 1, 2000 |
