He had already won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1929, but Mann considered this his greatest work. It is a retelling of the biblical story from Genesis. It is not accidental that he was himself in exile from Nazi Germany. It has been translated into English twice, in 1948 and 2008. Rumour has it he started it as a short story. https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/1132021._sx318_.jpg1132021._SX318_2020-08-16T06:18:45+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2020/08/11/the-corporation-of-god-a-parabolic-alternative/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/canada.jpgcanadaHer Majesty, in Canadian colours, inspects an honour guard at Parliament Hill in Ottawa.https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/41imhrgbtzl._sx326_bo1204203200_.jpg41ImhRgBtZL._SX326_BO1,204,203,200_2020-08-12T15:29:41+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2020/08/09/not-long-after-the-bible-began/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/chapel-e1596972795889.jpgChapel of St Thomas the Apostle, Kefalashttps://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/torah.jpgTorahhttps://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/cethuviim.jpgCethuviimhttps://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/neviim.jpgNeviim2020-08-09T15:58:25+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2020/08/05/resources-for-the-ninth-sunday-after-trinity/2020-08-08T12:09:58+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2020/07/31/resources-for-the-eighth-sunday-after-trinity/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/maxresdefault.jpgmaxresdefault"Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until daybreak."

This work is part of an apostolate from the Church of Almadrones, Guadalajara, which repeats the model of the Apostolates at Toledo Cathedral and the Museum-House of El Greco in that same city with very few variations. The Museo del Prado has four canvases from this series -The Savior, Saint James (P02890), Saint Thomas (P02891) and Saint Paul (P02892)- all of which perceptibly include the participation of the master’s workshop. In the painting of Saint Thomas, the beauty and movement of the head and hand correspond to a later date, and El Greco probably had no involvement in their execution. The drapery was painted by an artist who tried, unsuccessfully, to imitate his master´s style.

Clay, currently in the British Museum, but originally in Babylon. As Wikipedia says, "The text on the Cylinder praises Cyrus, sets out his genealogy and portrays him as a king from a line of kings. The Babylonian king Nabonidus, who was defeated and deposed by Cyrus, is denounced as an impious oppressor of the people of Babylonia and his low-born origins are implicitly contrasted to Cyrus' kingly heritage. The victorious Cyrus is portrayed as having been chosen by the chief Babylonian god Marduk to restore peace and order to the Babylonians." 2019-12-16T14:51:45+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2019/12/15/thomas-merton-on-isaiah/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/waters-of-siloe.jpgWaters of SiloeAn aged dust cover on the hardcover printing of "The Waters of Siloe" by Thomas Merton (Garden City, NJ: Garden City Books, 1951).

Cranmer was the principal author of the Book of Common Prayer in its 1549 and 1552 editions. He would have come out with a third edition, but Queen Mary, a staunch Catholic, became Queen of England in 1553, and had Cranmer deposed, imprisoned, defrocked, tried, and finally in 1556, burned at the stake. They took liturgy seriously in those days. https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/20190203_0953411571471923.jpg20190203_0953411571471923.jpg2019-02-03T16:22:59+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2019/02/01/christian-fascism-in-the-usa-chris-hedges-and-authentic-christianity/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/chris-hedges_2069_guest-768x432.jpgChris-Hedges_2069_GUEST-768x4322019-02-01T19:59:17+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2019/02/01/its-all-greek-to-me-nikos-kazantzakis-his-novel-captain-michalis/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/0ijbcf9ciswi8bhb9.jpg0*Ijbcf9cIswi8bHb9Hollywood made this Irish-Mexican actor, Anthony Quinn, the epitome of Greek manhood.

At the end of the 18th century and into the early part of the 19th century the city of Paris emptied out its many graveyards of centuries of bones - the remains of some six million people. In a regular series of processions they were carried out of the city walls and into the mines where they were stacked and stored. These are the bones from the Cemetery of St. Etienne Des Gres (St. Stephen of the Sandstone) on the left bank of Paris. The church was destroyed in the Revolution. Eventually Paris grew out over the mines, and one can now take a tour of the "Catacombs", as my son and I did in 2013https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/descent1.jpgDescent12017-04-15T23:30:03+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/14/lenten-readings-day-39/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/brooklyn_museum_-_what_our_lord_saw_from_the_cross_ce_que_voyait_notre-seigneur_sur_la_croix_-_james_tissot.jpgBrooklyn_Museum_-_What_Our_Lord_Saw_from_the_Cross_(Ce_que_voyait_Notre-Seigneur_sur_la_Croix)_-_James_Tissot"The Crucifixion, seen from the Cross" c. 1890 watercolor, James Tissot (1836-1902), now in the Brooklyn Museum. 2017-04-14T22:33:53+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/13/lenten-readings-day-38/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ucc81ltima_cena_-_da_vinci_5.jpgÚltima_Cena_-_Da_Vinci_5The Last Supper, late 15th-century by Leonardo da Vinci, in the refectory of the Convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan.2017-04-13T23:30:22+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/12/lenten-readings-day-37/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/apostle-paul-prison-epistles-writer-of-book-hebrews-nteb-933x445.jpgapostle-paul-prison-epistles-writer-of-book-hebrews-nteb-933x445Paul signs off on a letter he dictated in prison. 2017-04-12T23:10:07+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/11/lenten-readings-day-36/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/st-paul.jpgSt PaulSt. Paul from the Parish of St. Mark's, Qualicum Beach, Anglican Diocese of British Columbia, where the chrism mass was presided over by the Bishop of British Columbia. Paul probably did not look like this, either, nor did he carry a sword, and he probably knew books as scrolls, not codices. The classical temples are a nice touch, but an incongruous baroque dome seems to be in the background, too. 2017-04-11T21:33:57+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/10/lenten-readings-day-35/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/philippi-e1425479773166.jpgphilippi-e1425479773166Philippi was established in 356 BC by the king of Macedon, Philip II, on the site of the Thasian colony of Crenides, near the head of the Aegean Sea. Centuries later, it was abandoned after the Ottoman conquest (14th century). The present municipality of Filippoi is located near the ancient city’s ruins and it is part of the region of East Macedonia and Thrace in Kavala, Greece. The ancient city is currently the most important archaeological site in the region. The first excavations did not begin until the summer of 1914,and were soon interrupted by World War I. Between 1920 and 1937, archaeologists unearthed the Greek theatre, the forum, the baths and the city walls. After World War II, Greek archaeologists returned to the site, uncovering multiple public buildings. - See more at: http://greece.greekreporter.com/2015/03/04/ancient-greek-city-philippi-to-claim-place-in-world-heritage-list/#sthash.mSl7OYGb.dpuf2017-04-11T03:25:40+00:00monthlyhttps://theislandparson.com/2017/04/08/lenten-reflections-day-34/https://theislandparson.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/paulustarsus_lkanrw.jpgPhantombild Paulus von TarsusAt the instigation of German journalist Michael Hesemann the North Rhine-Westphalia State Investigation Bureau created a Facial Composite (it sounds better in German: Phantonbild) of Paul of Tarsus. Given that there are no living witnesses of the man, and the oldest portrait of him dates from three centuries after his death, this must be considered a work of the imagination.
