Envisioning The Word

I’ve just started reading Envisioning The Word by Richard Jensen. Its arrival has been timely, because I had decided that for a Good Friday evening meditation this year I would show four images of Salvador Dali paintings of the crucifixion. Here is one important quote from page 24 of Jensen in the meantime:

We need images to give our words life. We need words to set boundaries on the plastic world of images.

Tell you more later about how things go.

  1. Hello David
    I’ve been permitted to play with the big notice board in the church foyer for sometime now and this lent I put together several different displays leading up to Easter. It’s strange you should mention the Salvador Dali paintings as I’ve chosen the ‘Christ of St John of the Cross’ to display from tomorrow night until Sunday morning. I’m not too keen on Dali’s work generally but this particular picture doesn’t have a lot in it with it’s very dark background, yet the view looking down onto the crucifixion scene says so much about God giving mankind something so very special and precious. I’ll be interested to know what feedback you receive from Friday night.
