Each week the lecture will focus on an ideological or doctrinal issue, or on an interpretative strategy, and the related tutorial will examine how these work themselves out in the artistic tradition. The issues focussed on will include: the fourfold system of interpretation; Typology; Creation; Angelology; the Incarnation; the Virgin Birth; Redemption; the Harrowing of Hell; Primogeniture; Paradise; the Resurrection; Time and Eternity; the Trinity; the Exodus; the Flood; and the Fall and Atonement; Sin and Evil, other similar related issues will also be considered. |
