'Apocrypha' means 'hidden things', and describes books which were
not accepted into the Hebrew Canon, but which survive in the Greek
Scriptures. They were written in the period between the Old and New
Testaments. Though the Apocrypha were often included in the Bible,
their inclusion declined in the seventeenth century as they were
seen to be deuterocanonical. The Apocrypha still hold value for
study and spiritual enrichment. This edition includes the same
eighteen books as the RSV Apocrypha, including Tobit, 1-4
Maccabees, Wisdom of Solomon, Sirach, Judith, Baruch, Psalm 151,
and additions to Esther and Daniel. Like the ESV Bible, the
translation of these books strives for accuracy, providing an
essentially literal word-for-word approach to the original texts.
This attractive edition will be valuable for exploring these texts
and enriching understanding of the history and thought of the
Jewish people during the centuries leading up to the birth of
Christ.
What is Protestant Art? presents an introduction to Protestant
visual culture from the Reformation to the present. Examining
historical images as evidence of changing practices and attitudes,
Andrew T. Coates explores three major themes in the history of
Protestant visual culture: 1) the religious work of images, 2) the
relationship between word and image, 3) the power of the Bible and
its visual representation. The book analyses images such as prints,
paintings, maps of the 'Holy Land,' and Bible illustrations to
demonstrate the broad range of images that could be classified as
Protestant 'art.' This work argues that the variety of images and
visual practices throughout Protestant history might better be
described by the term 'visual culture' than 'art.'
