'An Artistic Approach to New Testament Literature' is a textbook
for secondary schools and would also serve well in a undergraduate
course. Historical criticism informs the background commentary.
Biblical texts are described according to the formal art elements
of form, line, colour, and texture. Other artistic terms such as
perspective and focal point are used to characterize biblical
passages. Thought-provoking questions and art projects are provided
for exploration in the foreground or in the world in front of the
text. This book is a bridge between church and academy. If church
leaders or teachers have questions for the author, they are invited
to e-mail her at
[email protected]. Sharon Chace s attention to
artistic elements such as line, form, colour, and texture opens up
a unique visual perspective on the New Testament. Teachers will
appreciate the ideas for art projects that enable young people to
engage this perspective through active learning. Jocelyn McWhirter
Assistant Professor of Religious Studies, Albion College An
Artistic Approach is a key that unlocks a complicated volume for
either the younger reader or one of any age beginning a faith quest
who wants to understand what the Bible is and how it came to be. It
also adds its own texture to scripture. Sharon Chace, as an artist,
reminds me of a quilter assembling her work so that the whole is
greater than the sum of its parts. James M. Perry Minnesota Annual
Conference, The United Methodist Church An excellent overview of
contemporary New Testament scholarship. I recommend it highly for
adult study groups in mainstream churches. Lois N. Sundeen Retired
minister, United Church of Christ Sharon R. Chace studied at
Andover Newton Theological School and Harvard and Yale Divinity
Schools, and is a Master of Theological Studies from Weston Jesuit
School of Theology, Massachusetts. Her articles, poems, and
children s stories have been widely published.
