contention

The prevalence of a spirit of contention amongst a people is a certain sign of deadness with respect to the things of religion. When men's spirits are hot with contention, they are cold to religion. - Jonathan Edwards “The Book of Mormon does not supplant the Bible. It expands, extends, clarifies, and amplifies our knowledge of the Savior. Surely, this second witness should be cause for great rejoicing by all Christians.” - Joseph B. Wirthlin

New ways of depicting Jesus

At the Mormon History Association last week (where I presented a paper on the influence of Jonathan Edwards), I attended a session on art that included a discussion of new ways of depicting Jesus more accurately, given the setting of the New Testament. You can see some of the examples at these links:
