Durer and the Bible

“For he has repented of and made atonement for the sins of the whole world, and has obtained of the Father Everlasting Life. Therefore Christ Jesus is the Son of God, the highest power, who can do all things, and He is the Eternal Life.”

~Albrecht Durer

Albrecht Durer helped to bring the Bible to a wide audience through his brilliant illustrations of the book of Revelation and other themes. His woodcuts were meant to be affordable for ordinary people. Durer wanted to show the supremacy of the Bible while using his art to preach sermons to those who could not read. For an interesting foray into art, search "images" on the internet for artwork by Durer.
