This film introduces The Visual Commentary on Scripture (theVCS.org), a freely accessible online publication that provides theological commentary on the Bible in dialogue with works of art. It helps its users to (re)discover the Bible in new ways through the illuminating interaction of artworks, scriptural texts, and commissioned commentaries.
Visit theVCS.org for more open access resources on theology, art, and Bible including over 600 high resolution images with interactive zoom function.
Each section of theVCS.org is a virtual exhibition comprising a biblical passage, three art works, and their associated commentaries. The curator of each exhibition selects artworks that they consider will open up the biblical texts for interpretation, and/or offer new perspectives on themes the texts address.
The virtual exhibitions of theVCS.org aim to facilitate new possibilities of seeing and reading so that the biblical text and the selected works of art come alive in new and vivid ways.
