Date: 1967 Contributing Institution: Columbia Theological Seminary John Bulow Campbell Library Description: <i>Sarasota Museum of the Cross</i> LP recording and slides.<br><b><br>The back cover notes on the LP read:<br>"The Sarasota museum of the cross was established in November 1966 in Sarasota, Florida, as a permanent exhibit of magnificent, almost life-size oil paintings of the Way of the Cross by world famous artist Ben Stahl. Unique of its kind anywhere on the earth, it is dedicated to people of all faiths, all creeds, from every walk of life. Words cannot express the drama, the realism, of these glowing fiery, awe-inspriring paintings. Authorities have called them the greatest religious works of our time. They are six feet by nine feet in actual size, each with its own specially designed, intricately carved frame. Internationally known for more than 25 years as one of America's most famous artists, Ben Stahl has won awards too numerous to mention, including the coveted Saltus Gold Medal of the National Academy of Design. He was born in Chicago, Illinois, where he lived and painted during the early years of his career. Today, he makes his home on Siesta Key, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, in Sarasota. These paintings of the Way of the Cross, Ben Stahl's finest creations, are the result of more the ten years of experiment and research, including many months spent in the Holy Land where he observed and recorded the colors, costumes, buildings, landscape and people. The purpose of his work, in Stahl's own words, is "to bring these hours in history to life again for people of every faith-to let them live in these paintings the tragedy and pathos of the sacrifice that was made for us all."

Creator: Froehlich, Karlfried Date: 1990 Contributing Institution: Princeton Theological Seminary Library Description: Part 1 of a series on Christian interpretation of the Decalogue given as alumni lectures at Princeton Theological Seminary, May 31 - June 1, 1990. and The fascinating understanding of this the longest of the biblical "Ten Words" went from the prohibition of all figural art in Judaism and the early Christian Fathers, which was continued by a resurgence of iconoclasm in the 8th century AD and in parts of the Protestant Reformation, to a slow process of acceptance under the pressure of the surrounding culture. The Christian East justified icons by an incarnational argument and by stressing the intention of the command as combatting idol worship, not art in general. The West embraced Pope Gregory the Great's endorsement of images as an educational tool for the illiterate, and the main Reformers of the 16th century promoted the existing middle course: "We neither worship nor destroy," allowing at least some form of figural art in the religious life of their adherents.
