Kahlil Gibran: Jesus: The Son of Man: His Words and His Deeds as Told and Recorded by Those Who Knew Him

Jesus: The Son of Man: His Words and His Deeds as Told and Recorded by Those Who Knew Him


Description

Still one of Gibran's most well-loved works over 70 years after its original publication, Jesus the Son of Man is a striking fictional portrait of Christ as seen through the eyes of his contemporaries. Depicting a variety of famous figures, from Mary Magdalen to Pontius Pilate, Gibran's spellbinding collection of narratives combine historical authority with the supreme eloquence that his admirers hold so dear. Fully conscious of the social, political, and religious realities of Palestine and Rome at the time, and at home with the local traditions and language, Gibran effortlessly evokes the spellbinding power of Christ's presence upon his associates. Presented in an attractive gift format and accompanied by Gibran's original artwork, this new edition allows Gibran's inspirational account of Christ to be heard once more.

The first millennium saw a rich and distinctive artistic tradition form in Europe. While books had long been central to the Christian religious tradition, education, and 20 Ways to Draw a Bike and 44 Other Incredible Ways to Get Around: A Sketchbook for Artists, Designers, and Doodlers download epub culture, they now became an important artistic medium, sometimes decorated with brilliant colours and precious metals. Lawrence Nees explores issues of artist patronage, craftsmanship, holy men and women, monasteries, secular courts, and the expressive and educational roles of artistic creation. He discusses early Christian art within the late Roman tradition, and the arts of the newly established kingdoms of northern Europe not as opposites, but as different aspects of a larger historical situation. This approach reveals the onset of an exciting new visual relationship between the church and the populace throughout medieval Europe, restoring a previously marginalized subject to a central status in our artistic and cultural heritage.
