Some Internet Sources For Visuals

These are found in Richard Jensen’s book Envisioning The Word, pp108-112. In the case of some multi-national sites I’ve given the British URL (e.g., for Google and AltaVista).

The Flaming Fire Illustrated Bible Illustrations for many Bible verses. Site uses Authorised Version and Apocrypha.

The Text This Week I’ve bookmarked this before: all sorts of resources for Lectionary readings.

Olga’s Gallery An online art gallery, including religious images.

Lumicon Digital resources for the Lectionary. Not free!

Preaching Plus Paid-for preaching resources from Leonard Sweet.

Google Images

AltaVista Image Search

FreeFoto Another site I’ve bookmarked before. Free photos for private non-commercial use.

Hollywood Jesus Resources to help you understand movies from a Christian perspective.

Internet Movie Database I often link to this when citing a film/actor/director. Useful information about virtually every movie you could possibly name.

Hollywood.org Info on movies, stars, movie related technology.

ScreenVue American Christian site that enables you to show movie clips legally under a licence.

Images Of The World

Webshots Photo-sharing site. See also Flickr and Photobucket.

Crosswalk Nothing visual, but Bible search and study tools. I have other favourites rather than this one; maybe another time I’ll blog them.

Pitts Theology Library Digital Image Archive Search Form Images (a lot from the Reformation) for use in research, teaching, private study and church. Free but you need to credit the source.

  1. some interesting links here; I use some but not all- regarding visual Liturgy have you used Mike Bossinghams Family Friendly resources- he also has some online backgrounds available.

  2. Sally,

    I don’t use all these sources and I hadn’t heard of all of them – I simply listed those recommended in the book. We do use some of Mike Bossingham’s backgrounds and other resources that he sells. Our next major step will be to start showing Rob Bell’s Nooma DVDs once a month at an informal evening service instead of a sermon, but our video projector team need time to work on the way DVDs integrate with our SongPro software.

    Hi Dave

    Thanks for your mention of FreeFoto.com

    http://davefaulkner.typepad.com/dave_faulkner_life_spirit/2007/04/some_internet_s.html

    We are happy for FreeFoto.com images to be used in any aspect of Christian ministry.

    You might be interested to know we are also developing a new site http://www.reelworship.com which will allow us to bring together all the worship resources we are using in our own churches.

    At the present you will find over 200 photographic backgrounds designed to have words added to them.

    We also have a selection of Worship Video Loops which are available to download from the web site.

    They work in a number of ways.

    Pre and post services, during communion, solos, offerings. The only limit is your own imagination.
