That would be an interesting visual component to some studies. And then get hold of the New College Lectures by Trevor Hart from last year <a href="http://www.newcollege.unsw.edu.au/New-College-Lecture-Series-2008.296.0.html" target="_blank">http://www.newcollege.unsw.edu.au/New-College-Lec...</a> I've been really enjoying watching 'The Power of Art' by Simon Scharma (on DVD).

I was just recently thinking of writing some studies on the bible and art (perhaps 3-4 weeks). do you have suggestions of either passages or art works? This is a fascinating post.

How do different artworks express different theologies? If Sayer's imagining of Jesus testifies the way it does because of particularly British institutions (as you make clear), then we would need to account for art history, but also history generally. At this point you might very well be able to make parallels with the Papunya... But we've only deferred (or multiplied, in fact) the problem of truth. And your question of the relation of history and class returns with a vengeance. Tolkien is interesting on this… a little book called Tree and Leaf.

Can we read life patterns of a community as a complex form of performance art? Especially if that community sees itself as being on display to those around them? Didn't Paul describe himself and the apostles as a spectacle put on for the world? What about theologies that seemingly give rise to no art?
