Rembrandt stands in a long tradition of artists who portrayed Jesus as Emmanuel, revealing the light and life of God. As with icons, such images invite us not simply to consider the human side of Jesus, but to open ourselves to the energy and action of God.
These images of stories and scenes from the Gospels are profoundly beautiful and full of spiritual depth, radiating the compassionate humanity of Christ. Anne Boyd's sensitive text shows us how to use these images and the Gospel passages to bring this compassion into the turmoil of todays world and into our own lives.
