""Our Fathers Have Told Us: Part 1, The Bible Of Amiens, Chapter 4, Interpretations"" is a book written by John Ruskin in 1881. This book is part of a larger work called ""Our Fathers Have Told Us"" which is a collection of Ruskin's lectures on architecture and art. In this particular chapter, Ruskin focuses on the interpretations of the Bible as seen through the artwork in the Cathedral of Amiens in France. Ruskin examines the different ways in which the Bible has been interpreted throughout history and how these interpretations have influenced art and architecture. He also discusses the importance of understanding the context in which the Bible was written in order to fully appreciate its meaning. The book is written in a scholarly and analytical style, with a focus on historical context and art criticism. It is aimed at readers who are interested in the history of art and architecture and the ways in which they intersect with religious and cultural traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
