El. knyga: Vincent van Gogh and the Good Samaritan: The Wounded Painter's Journey

Beautifully structured and filled with insights from an author who is both a priest and a painter, Henrys compelling enthusiasm both for Jesus parable and van Goghs painting, has produced a book bursting with insights into art, God and life. -- Revd Professor Maggi Dawn Oh, this is good. Being cynical about the art history approach to spirituality I did not really expect Van Goghs painting of the Good Samaritan to shed much light on the parable, but I was wrong. This is fresh, instructive, wise and inspiring and the command to go and do likewise is expounded with bracing honesty and a challenging sting in the tail. Highly recommended for personal or group reading. -- The Very Revd Dr Jeffrey John With tremendous tenderness, meticulous detail and hard-won insight into the human condition, Henry Martin lovingly paints Vincent van Gogh painting the Good Samaritan. By the end of this life-changing book, it as if Christ were the artist, we his subject, our world his irresistible canvas, our darkest shadows bathed in radiant cheering yellow. -- Rt Revd David Wilbourne
