Die 1534 vollständig erschienene Lutherbibel veränderte die Weltgeschichte nachhaltig. Sie machte die Bibel in der Volkssprache erstmals für Laien zugänglich und markierte damit eine Zäsur in der Geschichte des Christentums mit der Herausbildung des "allgemeinen Priestertums der Gläubigen" und die Herausbildung des Protestantismus. In diesem mit großer Sorgfalt hergestellten zweibändigen Nachdruck präsentiert TASCHEN sowohl das Alte als auch das Neue Testament in Luthers bahnbrechender Übersetzung. Auf der Grundlage des kostbaren Originals der Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek, das heute zum UNESCO-Weltdokumentenerbe zählt, offenbart der Band die vielschichtige Pracht dieser Bibel, mit ihrem akkuraten Schriftbild, ihren kunstvollen Initialen und den vorzüglichen farbigen Holzschnitten aus der Werkstatt Lucas Cranachs des Älteren . Stephan Füssel, Buchwissenschaftler der Johannes-Gutenberg-Universität zu Mainz, bereichert diese Publikation durch detaillierte Beschreibungen der Illustrationen sowie einer Einleitung, die Luthers Leben und die weltbewegende Bedeutung dieser Bibel herausarbeitet.

"There have been several approaches to painting the Crucifixion during the past two Christian millennia. Byzantine Orthodoxy emphasized the divine glory of the Son of God, while Roman Catholicism focused more on the Savior's humanity and his redemptive sufferings. The stress on Christ's human nature and vulnerability has remained the most characteristic feature of Western Christian art, starting with the Renaissance. The image of the Crucifixion -- the central event in Christian history -- also remained widespread in the apparently secular and frequently atheistic modernist art scene. Twentieth-century Crucifixions exhibited great novelty, variety, and complexity. Contemporary painters used the body on the cross to explore a wide range of social and spiritual concerns, including their distinct iconoclastic causes. What is the common denominator behind the incredible diversity of the avant-garde depictions of the crucified Jesus? According to the author, it consists of the transformation that the perception of the Crucifixion underwent in the twentieth century -- from a religious event with crucial dogmatic and theological implications to a primary cultural archetype that symbolizes righteous suffering. As such, it has become the ideal vehicle for rendering the existential and social realities of the century's history."--Back cover.

Traditionerne om Jesu mor Maria er del af en fælles kulturarv. Jomfru Maria og engleføden er en historie om hendes liv, sådan som den fortælles i en græsk tekst fra omkring 150 e.Kr., der hedder Jakobs Forevangelium. Teksten er ikke med i Bibelen, men det er fra denne fortælling, den traditionelle viden om Maria stammer. Maria er datter af to gamle rige jødiske forældre, der bor midt i Jerusalem i et hus med have. Maria vokser dog op i templet, hvor hendes føde bliver bragt af engle. Som ung pige bliver hun derefter sat til at lave templets forhæng. Hun kommer til at bo hos en tømrer Josef, der er gammel enkemand og far, og hvis opgave det erat tage sig af hende. Men også i denne fortælling bliver Maria gravid.Enhver kender til julekrybber, men forstår måske ikke, hvorfor Josef optræder som en gammel mand og det med en hyrdestav, når han nu er tømrer. Mange undrer sig måske over, hvorfor Jesus har brødre. Det er til den samme tradition, at forestillingen om Jesu fødsel i en hule knytter sig. Det skyldes traditionen fra det græske forlæg, som findes i den bog, du sidder med nu. Jomfru Maria og engleføden er en del af serien Kulturarvsfortælling på Forlaget Orbis.Fortællingen er oversat og gendigtet af Pernille Carstens, og den er tegnet af Sussi Bech.
