Inhaltsangabe

•Praise for Roger Wagner’s work;‘The greatest artworks of our times.’ - Sister Wendy Beckett‘The best religious artist in Britain today.’ - Charles Moore, The Spectator ‘Roger Wagner is a sober and clear poet and a remarkable, perhaps a towering artist …he has the power to create a myth.’ - Peter Levi, Professor of Poetry, University of Oxford •Roger Wagner speaks and exhibits frequently at arts and faith events and uses social media extensively. He has promotional tours planed for the US and China and is planning joint events with Malcolm Guite. Roger Wagner is one of the most significant Christian artists and poets working today. This collection combines his poems and paintings in pairs to explore specific places and familiar biblical narratives, inviting us to see them from new and unexpected angles. Roger's poems and pictures range over a wide terrain. Some are located in particular places in Oxfordshire and Suffolk and in particular moments of spiritual autobiography. Others take their starting point from biblical stories or moments in church history. Together, they show that to grasp spiritual truths we often need to approach them from different directions at the same time.
