Toi, Toi, si t'étais l'Bon Dieu

Aux étoiles
Le Bon Dieu, Brel.
This page is still largely in progress. For a while, this is just a place where I collect interesting material—mainly quotations—on the issue.
The best dialogue in literature comes with Moses asking his name to God, who replies: אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה (I Am that I Am)
Simon Cozens compiled which words Jesus uttered the most and made up a nice and inspiring words cloud:

Modern setting of the gospels
A fascinating aspect of religious art is its timeless character, with artists representing biblical themes in the setting of their own time. This becomes particularly interesting when cast in our contemporary world that is unlike any of the previous ones; this is also original as religious art is now much less productive than it used to be for centuries on.
The painting below, that we contemplated in Bangor's cathedral during our 2017 Easter trip, is an interesting illustration.
