This week we look at one of Jesus's #miracles, the healing of an official's son in John 4:43–54. Anton Wierix’s engraving captures the entire episode in a single image, allowing us visually to identify the cities, people, dialogue, and plot. thevcs.org/jesus-heals-of…

The second work in this week's exhibition on #John 4:43–54 is by Rodolpho Amoêdo, a Brazilian artist of the late nineteenth century. Why does Amoêdo deliberately blur Jesus’s face? Find out more here: thevcs.org/jesus-heals-of…

My piece for Middle East Eye Iran is a unique case study. The West may seek to remove Iran’s leaders, but Islamic Republic is more than just a regime: middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-we…

TRS PhD student Jaffer Mirza Jaffer A. Mirza writes for Middle East Eye on why Western-led regime change in Iran is unlikely to succeed. He argues the Islamic Republic is a deeply rooted ideological system tied to Shia theology and global solidarities. 🔗 middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-we…

When only one year old, Hendrick #Goltzius permanently damaged his right hand by fire. It’s speculated that the stiffness of his fingers had the side effect of strengthening his arm and shoulder, so he etched with his right hand and drew with his left.

In this 17th-c. illumination, Jesus stands looking at a man, who extends his left hand towards him (Luke specifies the right hand, but Matthew and Mark do not identify which hand needed healing). There is a clear indication of limpness in the wrist.

A powerful evening at the 2nd McDonald Agape Lecture with Genesis Tramaine, Emily Young & Christine Joynes. A moving conversation on art, faith & materiality — from sacred stone to spirit-led painting. Grateful to all three for their insight and presence. #TheologyAndTheArts
