Any Bible text may be used as part of the black plate change, with copyright permission
Contextual reconstruction is not a new idea What is new is that, with the addition of the detailed and realistic styled artwork, together with key historical and geographical information and the weaving of scripture, the reader is invited to understand the Bible in a new way When we start to see the Bible with fresh eyes, and through the visuals brought to life, we start to see the important meaning of each Biblical event, as it relates to the Kingdom of God.
1 Historical Contextual Reconstruction
Artwork in a realistic style, that has been researched carefully to ensure that the geographical terrain, season, time of day, daily artefacts and clothing are true to the culture and time period
Maps relevant to the Bible narrative, so that the reader can explore the journeys, routes and locations
Timelines, so that the reader can make sense of the various key events of the Bible in the larger timeframe
Lifelines, so that some of the main people of the Bible are brought to the fore as being real people, and not just characters in a book
2. Integrated Scripture
Bible text of the main Biblical events that have been illustrated in the artwork Psalm / Prayer - The experiences and prayerful conversations found in the Psalms provide insight into God’s relationship with His people, enhancing the narrative This highlights the ongoing dialogue between God and His children, further personalising the scriptures
God’s Promise – every main event of the Bible is linked to God’s covenant, reminding us that we are part of the blessings of God, included in the covenant of Abraham.
3 The Kingdom of God The meaning and importance of this Biblical event, as illustrated in the artwork, as it illustrates a key element of the Kingdom of God / Kingdom life, as Jesus explains the Kingdom in the New Testament.
