a different point of view

I have alwasy been fascinated by the way different cultures portray biblical characters and stories. Especially in art. Lots of us get stressed when Jesus looks like a white guy, but in a lot of ways, that makes sense coming from American artists. (I still think a lot of it is goofy, but I digress) Andrew Jones pointed me to a resource for Chinese art work that pictures the stories of the Bible from a marked Chinese perspective. Some of them are really beautiful. A couple of samples.
Jesus Walks on the Water on Porcelain

Jesus on the road to Emmaus (my favorite I think.) This is a woven tapestry.


You can see all of the pieces at the Tao Fong Shan Christian Centre

To me it's great to see the story of Jesus all over the world.

Enjoy.
