Patrick, James
Evangelists of Art: Picture-Sermons for Children
Produced by Al Haines
"Evangelists of Art: Picture-Sermons for Children" by James Patrick is a collection of illustrated sermons and reflections designed for a younger audience, written in the early 20th century. The book merges the beauty of art with moral and spiritual teachings, using famous paintings to convey biblical stories and lessons, making classic themes accessible and engaging for children. The content of the book consists of several chapters, each focusing on a different artwork and its connection to specific biblical narratives or moral lessons. For instance, it explores the story of Jesus in the Temple using Holman Hunt's painting and reflects on Martin Luther's transformative moment with the Bible through a significant illustration by Sir J. Noël Paton. Other chapters delve into Greco-Roman myths and other historical events, such as Hercules wrestling with Death or George Wishart before his martyrdom. Through these vivid depictions and accompanying narratives, Patrick encourages young readers to appreciate art while instilling values of love, obedience, faith, and the pursuit of higher wisdom over worldly desires.
