{"product_id":"seeing-and-believing-stuart-c-devenish-9781498261791","title":"Seeing and Believing: The Eye of Faith in a Visual Culture","description":"In a cinematic culture where multiple visions of reality \"play\" at the same time, it is critical that Christian believers know how to confidently identify and \"discern,\" among other stories, the Jesus-story that defines their most important commitment in life. Using the optical metaphor of the \"eye of faith,\" the author identifies the spiritual life as a \"visual life.\" Through themes such as \"looking through Jesus' eyes,\" the bible as a \"visionary text,\" and the church as a \"wide-eyed people,\" he builds a connecting bridge between the seeing-soul in Christian spirituality, and the twenty-first century as the \"age of the eye.\" The key words for this exploration are spirituality, discipleship, insight, luminescence, and optical \"therapy.\" The author proposes the need for a \"catechism of the eye\" that will lead to the renewal of Christian ministry, spirituality, discipleship, and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart C.
