After discussing the "arts of redemption" and their rivals, and introducing soteriology, the theology of salvation, Patrick Sherry argues that the Christian "Drama of Redemption" has three Acts. The next five chapters discuss the three Acts, namely salvation history, our present human life, and the life to come. In each case, Sherry explains how art and literature can lead to an understanding of what is at stake here. His main concern is with the present life: hence three of those chapters deal with that phase of redemption, one of them specifically with "novels of redemption." The last substantial chapter of the book takes up the general issue of how art and literature contribute to religious understanding: Sherry argues that they may be primary expressions of religious belief, as well as "illustrations," and that as such they may criticise or complement theology, or in turn be open to criticism themselves from that quarter. Finally, he summarises the main theme and briefly discusses some of the particular problems of assessing the arts of redemption.The book's most distinctive feature is the way in which it uses art and literature as a means of religious and theological understanding. It is not a survey of the arts of redemption, though it uses a wide variety of examples, including ancient Greek drama, Flemish and Italian painting, religious music, and 19th -20th century novels. These examples are used as a tool for understanding what is one of the most difficult areas of theology.

Comparison and Contrast of Images is photo essay. It is set to 15 Chapters and is assembled to dozen and dozen of art and photograph. Many have been reformat to the use of Photoshop and Imageready; so to provide complex combinations in one page. Chapters include art series to consider the word defying quality of an image, and to assess the basis of images to be the proper manner to reflect of phenomenon of God. I have included comment of hypnosis theory, and to discuss an intent of healing from the art. Primary themes include to grow of such collections or to encounter deteriorations of the spirit. The book is set to redemption themes, and considers blessing, communion and baptism of the faith. The alternative consideration discover an actually not existing phenomenon; so to derive anger, attacks or attempt to slay the angels. Find art series of theme about ordeal to be found in idiosyncratic manner, and to be a parity/mirror at this to derive critical reasoning skills. The primarily dilemma is to understand a meaning of gate or provenances from the story of the Christian. You will find art and photo of the Church; although I am of opinion the text is better read of a common man experience. The attempt to slay something without known literal or actual desciption over 2,000 years will find photo essay to merely turn the pages. Such could to be read in terms to gain angelic skills, or to conclude anger in otherwise impossible attitude without words. I present art series of intelligence to be derived of images, and to offer cognitive or thought based ideals. A carrier of the mind is portrayed as a not permanent insight to religion. A theory to find a deity to be a reflection to have humanity to do so intentionally act will discover technology potrayed of advanced photo combination. You then get two attitudes; such as to dissociate one from the other. Redemption or deterioration are religion set to comparison/contrast of the images.

Students of the New Testament and of theology will both find their vision broadened and their understanding deepened by this rich, informative study. As the author seeks to understand their implications for people of faith, she uncovers how New Testament images provide the building blocks of the master story of redemption.

Medieval images and their content, intentions, and functions regularly followed specific strategies, rituals, and symbols of communication. This is true for religious as well as for secular images. One can recognize these strategies and rituals through analyzing the patterns that occur in the varieties of image construction, image space, image messages, and their perception. This book contains contributions by international specialists whose research interests concentrate on these patterns, the rituals associated with them, and the influences of these phenomena on the daily life of the image audience.

Life and Work of Erich Neumann: On the Side of the Inner Voice is the first book to discuss Erich Neumann’s life, work and relationship with C.G. Jung. Neumann (1905–1960) is considered Jung’s most important student, and in this deeply personal and unique volume, Angelica Löwe casts Neumann's comprehensive work in a completely new light. Based on conversations with Neumann’s children, Rali Loewenthal-Neumann and Professor Micha Neumann, Löwe explores Neumann’s childhood and adolescent years in Part I, including how he met his wife and muse Julie Blumenfeld. In Part II the book traces their life and work in Tel Aviv, where they moved in the early 1930s amid growing anti-Jewish tensions in Hitler’s Germany. Finally, in Part III, Löwe analyses Neumann’s most famous works. This is the first book-length discussion of the existential questions motivating Neumann’s work, as well as the socio-historical circumstances pertaining to the problem of Jewish identity formation against rising anti-Semitism in the early 20th century. It will be essential reading for Jungian analysts and analytical psychologists in practice and in training, as well as scholars of Jungian and post-Jungian studies and Jewish studies.

Originally published in 1972, Themes and Images in the Medieval English Religious Lyric discusses themes and images in religious lyric poetry in Medieval English poetry. The book looks at the affect that tradition and convention had on the religious poetry of the medieval period. It examines the background of the lyrics, including the Latin tradition which was inherited by medieval vernacular and shows how religious lyric poetry presents, through a rich variety of images, the significant incidents in the scheme of Christ’s redemption, such as the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Passion and the Resurrection. It also considers the lyrics which were designed to assist humanity in the task of living in a Christian life, as well as those which prepared them for death.
