The Arts & Early Christianity: with Professor Robin Jensen

Venn Conversation Evening

In partnership with the Theology Programme at the University of Otago, Venn Centre for the Arts brings you Portraying the Invisible God: How Early Christian Artists Depicted Christ, a conversation evening with historian of Christian art and architecture Professor Robin Jensen.

The New Testament refers to Christ as the image of the invisible God, but it never describes his physical appearance. Professor Robin Jensen will explore how early depictions of Jesus expressed Christian beliefs about his divine and human natures and his mission as healer, teacher, and saviour.

Whether you’re a practising artist, or fascinated by the arts, this evening offers an excellent opportunity to explore an ancient dynamic of Christianity and art-making.
