Each chapter of Matthew is associated with an original painting (20) or vignette (8). The text within this art book  includes the entire Gospel of Matthew in the Tree of Life (TLV) version of the Bible.  - Hardcover with gold embossing - Full color and full bleed - About the artist - Introduction by David Brickner - Full Gospel of Matthew text in Tree of Life (TLV) translation - Artists notes for each painting - English translation of Hebrew included - Pages: 72 - 20 full page illustrations  Inspiration for the Multitudes Project  The Gospel according to Matthew is regarded as the most Jewish presentation of Yeshua the Messiah. The style of narrative emphasizes this  along with the striking number of references to passages from the Tanakh (Old Testament). Through the powerful text and its illustrative artwork  Multitudes emphasizes the Jewish continuity and historical awareness present in this Gospel.  From the lineage of Messiah to the exultation of the empty tomb  this account of the life of Yeshua is filled with ancient references that lead us on the journey from history past to jubilant future. Multitudes portrays the depth and yes  the shadows  that enable us to understand why the gospel story is good news. An ominous red sky  the dark cast to Yeshua s parabolic teaching style and Matthew s awe-filling pronouncement (Matthew 8:17) quoting from the Isaiah 53 prophecy of the Suffering Servant of the one who took our sicknesses and carried away our diseases all are part of Yeshua s story. Alongside the dark symbols  the text and paintings reflect the full majesty of the annunciation of the good news and the joyous expectancy over the triumphant future return of Messiah God s gift to the multitudes of every generation. -Steffi Geiser Rubin\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648219308085,"sku":"ByrdShop_1940571022","price":48.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781940571027.jpg?v=1781713133","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/multitudes-the-gospel-of-matthew-illustrated-9781940571027","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
