On our Journey Through John, we are moving forward at one chapter per week. Click here for the reading schedule if you’d like to follow along. This week’s featured conversation partner is Dr. Keith Stanglin of the Austin Graduate School of Theology.
The Isenheim Altarpiece
In our conversation for chapter 1, Keith references this piece by Matthias Grünewald. Notice the way that John the Baptist, holding Scripture, is pointing us toward Jesus.
The Isenheim Altarpiece, created between 1512-1516. It is presently on display at the Unterlinden Museum at Colmar, Alsace, in France.
