Christopher J. H. Wright Bücher

Nach jahrelangen Diskussionen in der Forschung liegt nun eine nach Gattungen geordnete, spannend geschriebene Monographie vor, die einen neuartigen Einblick in Rembrandts Werk bietet. Christopher Wright, der nahezu das gesamte Œuvre Rembrandts kennt, überprüft sowohl die eigenhändigen als auch die zugeschriebenen Werke des Malers sorgfältig. Einführung und Biographie setzen die sozialen und ökonomischen Veränderungen in den Niederlanden in Bezug zu Rembrandts Leben und künstlerischem Umfeld, ohne deren Wirkung auf sein Schaffen in den Vordergrund zu stellen. Der Autor erschließt das Werk des Künstlers anhand der unterschiedlichen Bildgattungen, die Rembrandt pflegte. In chronologischer Reihenfolge zeigt die Analyse, wie Rembrandt seine Themen erfasste und welche stilistischen Wandlungen er durchlief, während die charakteristischen Merkmale seiner Kunst bereits in der Frühzeit präsent sind: die kraftvolle Sicht auf das Menschliche, die dramatische Anordnung der Figuren, das wirkungsvoll eingesetzte Licht und die persönliche Pinselführung. Wright bietet einen zuverlässigen Wegweiser durch die Zuschreibungsdiskussionen und verlässt gelegentlich den Pfad des Rembrandt-Forschungsprojekts mit guten Gründen. Die Abbildungsqualität in diesem Band ist herausragend.

Some people find the Old Testament to be confusing, out of date, and essentially replaced by the New Testament. They are missing out. The Old Testament offers us a grand narrative that reveals God's work, God's purposes, and God's wisdom.Christopher J. H. Wright fits the pieces together and shows us the coherent whole. Using seven key sentences drawn straight from the Old Testament, he connects the dots and points us toward Jesus.• "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."• "All peoples on earth will be blessed through you."• "You shall have no other gods before me."• "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news."Such sentences as these are not merely beautiful or helpful (though they are that). They are part of the great drama of Scripture, the story of God's plan of redemption that embraces all nations and the whole of his creation. Wright starts from the beginning, describing God's promises and covenants with his people and his mission to bless the world. At the end of this short survey, readers will clearly see God's faithfulness and love for his people and will understand how the Old Testament scriptures prepared for the identity and mission of Jesus as Messiah, Savior, and Lord.

We first meet the Holy Spirit in the second verse of the Bible, hovering there, speaking the world into existence. Christopher Wright begins here and traces the Holy Spirit through the pages of the Old Testament. He shows that the Spirit is knowable, and that the Spirit empowers God's people and sustains the earth.
