Bible in the Schools: Biblical Art

Biblical Art

Rolf E. Strk, a Norwegian theologian and schoolteacher, has put together a comprehensive site of biblical art links. According to Rolf, "The aim of Biblical Art on the WWW is to provide a helpful assistant in the search for biblical art on the Internet." One can search by subject, artist, text, or word.

As the website states, "throughout the history of art many great artists have been inspired by stories in the bible. On this site an ever increasing selection of their work is presented, with every painting linked to a related bible passage. The text is from the King James Bible, also known as the Authorized Version. You will find the full text online, including the apocrypha and the translators' preface."
