In Christianity, Jesus is connected with the attribute of Logos in the Gospel of John, and with Kalimat in the Quran. Logos is considered separate in person from Theos but the same in essence. Logos incarnated to Jesus, and so became a man in essence and then returned to Spirit form after his crucifixion. This essay seeks to demonstrate the meaning of Word in connection to Jesus in the Quran. Muslim scholars point to the interpretation that Word is the Creative Word BE. However, it is used for a wider range of referents than merely the Creative word. What is its relation to the Preserved Tablet? How is the preserved Word manifest in Jesus? Does it include the capabilities of Jesus with God's permission? Delving into these questions in a very shallow way is the aim of this research.
Compiling Narratives: The Visual Strategies of Early Christian Art, JECS 23 (2015)
Early Christian pictorial art arose within a Greco-Roman cultural environment, instinctively adapting the visual vocabulary of the world in which it appeared and developed. Yet, even while surviving examples of identifiably Christian art objects appear to have much in common with those made for polytheists, they also reveal differences that reflect evident and distinctively Christian practices of composing and viewing images. This involved more than transforming earlier pagan models, it signaled an intentional rejection of their form, content, and style. The results also aligned with certain exegetical strategies evident in early Christian sermons, commentaries, and catecheses and reflected the emergence of a characteristically Christian social identity that emphasized shared religious commitments and broadly understood interpretive approaches to biblical narratives.
Word & Image: A Journal of Verbal/Visual Enquiry, 2014
It has been “the view expressed by three generations of scholars on the origins of Psalter illumination: that the David cycles of the illuminated Psalter are to be connected with the illuminated manuscripts of the Books of Kings.”1 In many particulars, how- ever, the Paris Psalter (Paris, Bibliothèque nationale, cod. gr. 139), among the most sumptuous and well-studied of all Byzantine illuminated manuscripts, contradicts this assumption. In significant ways the eight scenes from the life of David deviate from the account of his life as told in Scripture. In addition to differences in details, the presence of the many personifications in the pictures is not explained by the text of the Bible. The imagery shares a far closer correspondence with the account of David’s life found in the Antiquitates Judaicae of Flavius Josephus
