内容简介
Illuminated by a series of fine art paintings, Alister McGrath's new volume seeks to engage both the mind and the imagination as he vividly explores the divine compassion that led God to sacrifice his only Son in order to save a world oppressed and unable to help itself.
Poetry, prayer and theological reflection are interwoven with commentary on the ideas conveyed through Sir Edward John Poynter's The Prodigal's Return, Amedeo Bocchi's On the Lawn (illustrating the theme of adoption), Jacopo Bassano's The Last Supper, Caravaggio's The Taking of Christ, Antonio Ciseri's Ecce Homo, Salvador Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross and El Greco's Pietá. The result helps us not only to engage more fully with the gospel narratives, but also to come to a greater understanding of the truth and the reality of our Christian faith. This is a wonderful gift book.
