New Testament: Gospels-Episode Nineteen

September 25, 2019December 18, 2019 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

After a short delay in production, Episode Nineteen in the revised editions of our Bible Study Video series, New Tesament: Gospels, is now online. It runs just over 21 minutes, with a superb and very vivid early 11th C. illumination on the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus presented in 3 tiers. The featured illustration, since I have used the Rich Man and Lazarus illumination in previous years, is a 16th C. restoration of much older fresco from Bulgaria.

Rich Man and Lazarus-Rila-PCA2 — **The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus** Fresco, Monastery of St. Ivan of Rila, nr. Sofia,
Bulgaria. Started 927 A.D.; Destroyed by Moslems, early 15th C.; Rebuilt late 15th C. Perspective correction and other adjustments applied. Photo by Apostoloff Creative Commons CC-by-SA 3.0.

I’ve been very busy completing the updating of the final episoses of the Gospel of St. John. Episode Forty-five should be complete by the end of the week or early next week. It includes several illuminations I had not seen previously.

As always, thanks for your interest and support. May God bless you in all that you do in His Name! Amen! Glory be to God for all things! Amen!

New Testament Videos – Episode 18

September 14, 2019December 18, 2019 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

Christ-in Majesty-Ms Royal 1 D X-Fol8v-BritLibr-PCA — **Christ in Majesty**. Produced before 1220 A.D., Oxford, England. Ms. Royal 1 D X, Folio 8v, British Library, London, England. CCo license applies.

Episode Eighteen in the revised and expanded version of New Testament: Gospels is now available in video and podcast formats. The episode is focused on the next three unique parable: the Lost Coin, the Lost Son (or Prodigal Son in the KJV) and the Unjust Steward. This week’s favored graphic is a wonderful blue and red themed Christ in Majesty, which is the Western Church term for what the Eastern Church labels as Christ Pantokrator. Christ is seated on a the throne of judgment within the traditional almond-shaped mandorla, which signifies the Glory of the Lord. At each corner is a symbol of one of the Gospel authors. It is an illumination in colored inks and gold on parchment from a Psalter made at Oxford in the 1st Qtr 13th C. A.D. but definitely before 1220 A.D. I used perspective correction software on the original image.

I am currently completing the revisions to Episode Forty-two in the same series. Episode Forty-two is focused on Unique Details – People, including Peter, Nicodemus, Judas Iscariot and Mary Madgalene. The final slides as yet unedited are those about Mary Magdalene. I have the text but haven’t decided upon the right illustrations.

Gospel of St. Luke – Episode 17

September 6, 2019December 18, 2019 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

Episode Seventeen in New Testament: Gospels is now available, a week later than expected owing to competing demands on my time. The episode is focused on the first four of the Unique Parables in the Gospel of St, Luke, in order of appearance: Good Samaritan, Rich Fool, Withered Fig Tree & Chief Seats.

This week’s featured illumination, used with the Parable of the Chief Seats, is Christ in Majesty, depicting Jesus seated on the throne of the New Jerusalem, surrounded by a chorus of virgins, martyrs and confessors, with the Greek symbols for Alpha and Omega and a Cross beside Him and a visible wound in His side. It comes from the British Library’s Ms. Cotton Galba A XVIII, Folio 21v, in the Athelstan Psalter, made in or near Liege, Belgium, around 924 A.D. for the Bishop of Winchester and later given to the English king of Wessex, Athelstan. The very large collection of manuscripts collected by Robert Cotton are only recently being digitized.

I am currently working on the slides and text for Episode Forty-one, focused on Unique Details in the Gospel of St. John. My timetable has been revised and I now hope to complete the remaining four episodes and add a new, final/summary episode before the end of the year.

Bible Study Videos: Episode Sixteen

August 22, 2019December 18, 2019 Anglican Internet Church2 Comments

Christ-Temptations-All-Echternach-96dpi

Episode Sixteen in the revised and expanded versions of our Bible Study Video series, The New Testament: Gospels, is now available in video and podcast versions. The topics are St. Luke’s unique reverse order genealogy of Jesus and his account of the Temptations of Christ. The graphic with this Blog post is a 96 dpi version of the Temptations from the Codex Aureus of Echternach, made at the Abbey of Echternach, Echternach, Luxembourg (then part of Germany) between 1030 and 1050 A.D. The Codex is one of the marvels of the Ottonian era of the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire revived in 800 A.D. by Charlemagne. It is just one of three scenes on a single page, with other scenes of the Calling of the first Apostles and Cleansing the Temple. You can see shine in the gilt in the 300 dpi version in the video. Other illustrations include work by Ducci di Bouninsegna; an miniature of Christ and Satan from a Psalter from England in the 13th C.; an illumination of Luke writing his Gospel made for Charlemagne in 800 A.D.; two watercolors, one of the Temptation on the pinnacle of the Temple and one of St. Joseph, by James Tissot; an oil on canvas of the Temptations by Vassily Surikov, and a scene from an icon in the Russian Orthodox tradition.

I am currently working on Episode Thirty-six on the first “sign” in the Gospel of John, the Wedding at Cana. I am also working on a plan for advertising on an Anglican site for our Bookstore Publications.

Bible Study Videos – Episode Thirteen

August 1, 2019December 18, 2019 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

Annunciation-Meister_der_Braunschweig-Magdeburger_Schule_1275 — **THE ANNUNCIATION.** The Archangel Gabriel and the Blessed Virgin presented in tempera and gilt on vellum, *circa* 1275 A.D., attributed to the Master of the Braunschweig-Magdeburg School, from the Austrian National Library, Vienna, Austria, as reproduced in The Yorck Project: **10,000 Masterworks**. Public domain.

In what I think is the best episode yet in the revised and expanded version of the AIC Bible Study Video series, New Testament: Gospels is now available. Episode Thirteen features many rarely-seen illustrations from the 11th, 13th, 18th, 19th and 2nd Qtr 20th C. to aid in viewer/listener comprehension of the Gospel of St. Luke.

Watch the Video. Listen to the Podcast

The focus in Episode Thirteen is on the second and best known of three “annunciations” in the Gospel of St Luke, in this case “The” Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin by the Archangel Gabriel; the first two of 4 songs in the Gospel of St. Luke, the Magnificat and the Benedictus, the latter occasioned by the birth of John the Baptist and the loosening of the tongue of Zacharias.

Personally, I really miss the congregational singing of the Benedictus (as well as the Jubilate Deo and the Te Deum laudamus). No musical instrument, no matter how well played can equal the emotional feeling of united voices singing the theological songs.

I have completed both the sound and pictures for Episode Fourteen and will complete the video and upload it next week. I am currently prepared the slides and script for Episode Thirty-two, on the Gospel of St. John.

Sixteenth Sunday After Trinity

September 18, 2015 Anglican Internet ChurchLeave a comment

Quite a busy week, starting with a heart catheterization on Tuesday. I am thankful and glad to report that the test found no new blockages in my heart and no obstruction in the stent which was installed in 2013. The most convincing theory of the moment is that my symptoms were the result of stress, lack of exercise and lack of sleep, etc. Consequently, lifestyle changes have already been made, including regular exercise, including at least 30 minutes of walking, and regular massages at my chiropractor’s office.

There will be no new episodes in our Bible Study series on Revelation this week. I hope to complete work on Episode 23, focused on Revelation 18, before the end of next week. All the slides are done, as is the sound recording. I have to coordinate the pictures and sound, tedious, time-consuming work for which had neither time nor energy for this week! Thanks for your patience.

I am presently at work on the final Chapter of Revelation and hope to have all the episodes completed before the middle of October.

I did complete and upload to the AIC Web Site and Facebook my Podcast Homily for Sixteenth Sunday After Trinity. The Gospel reading covers the Raising of the Son of the Widow of Nain (Luke 7:11-17). The only illustration I know of is the lovely watercolor from the Life of Christ series by James Tissot at the Brooklyn Museum.
