  • How an Iconic Painting of Jesus As a White Man Was Distributed Around the World
    How an iconic painting of Jesus as a white man was distributed around the world Emily McFarlan | Religion News ServiceJune 25, 2020 at 3:24 p.m. EDT Painting by Warner Sallman, “Head of Christ,” © 1941 Warner Press Inc., Anderson, Indiana. Used with permission via RNS (Warner Press Inc.) CHICAGO — The first time the Rev. Lettie Moses Carr saw Jesus depicted as black, she was in her 20s. It felt “weird,” Carr said. Until that moment, she had always thought Jesus was white. At least that’s how he appeared when she was growing up. A copy of Warner E. Sallman’s “Head of Christ” painting hung in her home, depicting a gentle Jesus with blue eyes turned heavenward and dark blond hair cascading over his shoulders in waves. The painting, which has been reproduced a billion times, came to define what the central figure of Christianity looked like for generations of Christians in the United States — and beyond. For years, Sallman’s Jesus “represented the image of God,” said Carr, the director of ministry and administrative support staff at First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Maryland. When she grew up and began to study the Bible on her own, she started to wonder about that painting and the message it sent. “It didn’t make sense that this picture was of this white guy,” she said. Carr isn’t the first to question Sallman’s image of Jesus and the impact it’s had not only on theology but also on the wider culture. As protesters around the United States tear down statues of Confederate heroes and demand an accounting for the country’s long legacy of racism, some in the church are asking whether the time has come to cancel what is called white Jesus — including Sallman’s famed painting.

    Notes Introduction: The Triumph of Televangelism and the Decline of Mainline Religious Broadcasting Notes to Pages 1–2 1. Razelle Frankl (Televangelism: The Marketing of Popular Religion [Carbondale, IL: Southern Illinois University Press, 1987], pp. 6–8) attributes the hybrid term—televangelism—to Jeffrey K. Hadden and Charles Swann, Primetime Preachers: The Rising Power of Televangelism (Reading, MA: Addison Wesley Pub., 1981). 2. See Mark Silk, Unsecular Media: Making News of Religion in America (Urbana: University of Illinois, 1995), particularly chapter 7: “Hypocrisy,” pp. 80–90. See also, R. Laurence Moore, Selling God: American Religion in the Marketplace of Culture (New York: Oxford, 1994), especially chapter 5, “The Marketplace for Religious Controversy,” pp. 118–145. 3. Ben Armstrong of the National Religious Broadcasters preferred the term “electric church” while William Fore of the Broadcast and Film Commission preferred the term “electronic church.” 4. See Will Herberg, Protestant, Catholic, Jew (Garden City, NY: Anchor, 1955). 5. For a clear summary of classical and neoclassical sociological thought on the issue of secularization see Karl Dobbelaere, “Secularization: A Multi- Dimensional Concept,” Current Sociology 29:2 (March 1981): 3–153.

  • Depiction of Jesus - Wikipedia
    12/18/2019 Depiction of Jesus - Wikipedia Depiction of Jesus There is no useful description of the physical appearance of Jesus given in the New Testament, and the depiction of Jesus in pictorial form was controversial in the early Church.[1][2] The depiction of him in art took several centuries to reach a conventional standardized form for his physical appearance, which has subsequently remained largely stable since that time. Most images of Jesus have in common a number of traits which are now almost universally associated with Jesus, although variants are seen. The conventional image of a fully bearded Jesus with long hair emerged around 300 AD, but did not become established until the 6th century in Eastern Christianity, and much later in the Mural painting from the catacomb of West. It has always had the advantage of being easily Commodilla. One of the first recognizable, and distinguishing Jesus from other figures shown bearded images of Jesus, late 4th around him, which the use of a cruciform halo also achieves. century. Earlier images were much more varied. Images of Jesus tend to show ethnic characteristics similar to those of the culture in which the image has been created. Beliefs that certain images are historically authentic, or have acquired an authoritative status from Church tradition, remain powerful among some of the faithful, in Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, and Roman Catholicism. The Shroud of Turin is now the best-known example, though the Image of Edessa and the Veil of Veronica were better known in medieval times.

In each locale, Nordic heritage is further manifested as active community members make con- scious choices to sustain such expressive forms and practices as family names, holiday traditions, and the creation and display of material culture. What emerges is neither Danish nor Finnish nor Norwegian nor Swedish nor thoroughly American but must instead be viewed as uniquely Nordic 30 American Studies in Scandinavia, 44:1 American. Amanda Kolpin, writing about Lindstrom, Minnesota, suggests that “[c]ultural events and sites are often the locations where memory work takes place, which in turn serves to affirm the dominating themes of a shared identity apparent in a place’s narrative” (2011, 283). Just as Kolpin iden- tifies the connection between these Nordic-American cultural events and a sense of shared identity, the church in Upper Midwestern communities has served as both a tangible and intangible space of Swedish identity for many Americans of Nordic descent.
