Uplifting Stories to Remember and Share

James C. Christensen's Print Parables

As James C. Christensen says, "Few of us remember all of Jesus’ parables; it seems each time I read The New Testament, it’s a matter of rediscovery. I’ll come upon a certain parable and find it has new meaning and relevance to my life. That’s why I thought I would gather several parables together in one image and create an opportunity for viewers to recall and share them. I worked closely with my friend Robert Millet, Dean of Religious Studies at Brigham Young University, in selecting these twelve, and we feel that each conveys a special aspect of Jesus’ teachings. Visually, the work is a montage inspired by paintings of the Early Northern Renaissance, where perspective tended to be subordinate to a story. I always hope my work fosters not only contemplation and personal reflection, but also a sharing of experiences. I’d be delighted if this print inspired you to talk about these stories with your children."

A free booklet, which, the provides the King James version of each parable accompanies each print. Dr. Millet has also provided an insightful introduction and helpful interpretations to help the reader relates each parable to contemporary life.
