Produktbeschreibung
Discover a new faith formation tool for interpreting the parables of Jesus Christ. While many have sought to interpret the parables of Jesus, few have attempted to unlock their meaning through art. In Art of Parables, theologian and sculptor Charles McCollough offers a new pathway toward understanding the messages contained in the parables of Jesus. Employing art to convey the essence of Jesus' teachings, McCollough uses his own sculptures to reinterpret and capture what words simply cannot. Offering spiritual, personal, economic and political context to thirty of Christ's parables, McCollough's approach transcends the written word, giving readers a visual tool for spiritual growth. Bringing biblical stories to life through sculpture, the book is a unique intersection of faith and art that allows church leaders, ministers, seminary students and even the spiritually curious an opportunity to better understand their relationship to God.
