This Volume contains calligraphy of words drawn from the four Gospels, as well as the Psalms and other passages from the Bible that shed light on the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. A gentle companion for meditation This lovely book is made of selections from scripture set in calligraphy and accompanied by dozens of black-and-white photos of religious art and scenes from nature. The result is a gentle companion for meditation, as well as an unexpected source of fresh insight into familiar themes. There is no commentary, only scripture for a more direct experience of God. The passages selected give an overview of the life of Jesus, the basic concepts of Christian thought, the message of salvation, and how the character of Christian living affects our relationships with God and others. A key theme is "no prejudice"--that is, if your heart is filled with love, there's no room for hatred.
The Wisdom of Jesus-- --draws from several Bible translations, including King James, the Revised Standard, the New English bible, and others --includes ample space for personal comments and reactions, making the book a scriptural journal --serves as both a scripture guide for Christians and an introduction to Christian thought for those of other faiths --makes a thoughtful gift for RCIA or confirmation candidates, for the sick or the newly bereaved, for new parents, for any and all occasions.
