The aim is to present a fully illustrated talk about the Bible as revealed in the work of great artists. I hope to guide people to new ways of seeing a neglected text and discover some surprising features. I'm not preaching or trying to convert to Christianity, just hoping to persuade people to re-examine the Bible as profound Literature and stunning Art.
