Pre-incarnate Christ
The Pre-Incarnate Christ: Jesus' participation in the pages of the Bible is evidently more prominent in his acts after the incarnation: he assumed human nature (John 1:14; Philippians 2:6-8), died for our sins (John 3:16), rose again on the third day and took his place at the right hand of God (Acts 2:32-33), is mediator and intercedes for us in the heavenly sanctuary (1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:24), and will one day return to complete his work of redemption (Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 1:7; 22:12). However, we cannot forget that Jesus is eternal and identified as the second person of the Trinity: “The Son exists because the Father exists, but there never was a time when the Father existed.”

Method (step 4) – poetics Introduction It is through the observation of how the biblical imaginary (read here) can develop and the way in which adaptation works (read here) with their diverse purposes (read here) influence this construction, that the poetics of OldNewBox develops. For, “what many people know or think they know about the Bible usually results more from artistic interpretations of the biblical stories they have seen than from the Bible itself” (EXUM, 1998, p. 157, our translation). But, what is poetics? According to Georgina Vidal, in the Visual Arts it is “the articulation between art theory and artistic practice […] it is the set of
Method (step 3) – purpose
Method (step 3) – purpose Introduction The construction of the method for creating OldNewBox biblical illustrations is divided into four steps, the first three of which are strictly theoretical. It is by understanding three concepts – imagery, adaptation and purpose – that the path is paved for the final step, when the illustrations can be produced. This series of articles, divided into four parts, is therefore intended for those who, in addition to consuming OldNewbox visual material, seek to delve deeper into its motivations and intentions. After understanding what imagery is (read here) and also the adaptation process as a recreation (read here),

Previously, in the first text of this series, we looked at what imagery is, how it is formed and its impact.
