An Artistic Approach to New Testament Literature

An Artistic Approach to New Testament Literature is a first introductory textbook for late high school or college students and would serve well in a freshman experience course. Historical criticism informs the background commentary. Biblical texts are described according to the formal art elements of form, line, color, and texture. Other artistic terms such as perspective and focal point are used to characterize biblical passages. Thought-provoking questions and art projects are provided for exploration in the foreground or in the world in front of the text.
This book is a bridge between church and academy. If church leaders or teachers have questions for the author, they are invited to contact her through e-mail at Shrnrchace@aol.com.

I am an artist and writer of poetry and prose. I serve church and community as Poet Laureate Emeritus of Rockport, Massachusetts where I am a member of the First Congregational Church, United Church of Christ. At about age 17, I published a brief essay about the prodigal son in the church's newsletter. Today, my books of poetry and biblical studies are in church, college, and graduate school libraries. My current interest is theoportics. You can see a video of my presentation about theoportics by visiting the link below or searching: sharon chace Youtube.
