BAS's Acclaimed Video Lectures: Series One: The Early Christian Bible in Art: Pagan or Jewish Roots? Robin Jensen
Jensen presents a fascinating introduction to the development of early Christian art. She connects themes and symbols with their associative meanings, sorting out which motifs can be traced to pagan prototypes and which are biblical in origin. Jensen also puts the birth of early Christian art into the context of the beliefs and practices of the early Christian community, exploring how, here, when and why Christian art first arose. Robin Jensen specializes in the literature of the early church, the history of worship and liturgy, and early Christian art and architecture. She is chair of Andover Newton College's Committee on Theology and the Arts and director of the Summer Institute for Theology and the Arts. She has published several articles and book reviews in Bible Review, including "The Raising of Lazarus" (April 1995), "What Are Pagan River Gods Doing in Scenes of Jesus' Baptism?" (February 1993), "Dining in Heaven" (October 1998), and "The Binding or Sacrifice of Isaac--How Jews and Christians See Differently" (October 1993). BAS 1999, VHS, 49 minutes.
