Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Miscellanies, Vol. 2 of 3: Literary and Religious In an ancient fresco painting, from the Catacombs of Rome, our Blessed Lord is represented having a nimbus of glory on His head, and seated on a throne, and having in His left hand an Open Book (representing the Holy Bible) and raising His right hand in the act of Blessing. The Bible is also represented in its composite character, that is, as consisting of various writings, by two cylinders or capsoe containing written rolls, symbolizing the books of the Two Testaments. And the method in which the Bible is given by Christ to the World is shown by the figures of the two Apostles, St. Peter, the Apostle of the Circumcision, and St. Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, the one on one side of Christ, the other on the other side. Thus is displayed the great truth, that the Written Word is avouched by Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word; that it is His will that it should be opened in the eyes of all, to be seen, heard, and read by all; and that the Holy Scriptures are delivered by Him to the Apostolic Ministry of His Church, in order to be guarded, interpreted, and preached by her to all the world. This ancient fresco is a pictorial Essay on the Inspiration of the Bible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
