Themes and variations for a Christian doxology
Hughes Oliphant Old
Author "weaves the five biblical voices of invocation, proclamation, wisdom, prophecy, and covenant into a chorus of theology as praise. Starting from the two Testaments, he develops his themes through the history of Christian worship with variations embracing not only rites and prayers but also art, music, and, above all, hymnody. The book will help the reading pastor to construct and conduct a rich service with the Lord's people on the Lord's Day"--Back cover.

Les peintures murales du palais de Tell Ahmar
Ariane Thomas
Témoignages longtemps inespérés et uniques à ce jour, les peintures de Tell Ahmar sont parmi les plus anciennes peintures conservées au musée du Louvre. Il y a plus de deux mille cinq cents ans, elles couvraient les murs d'un palais royal édifié dans les provinces occidentales de l'empire assyrien, sur le site de Tell Ahmar en Syrie actuelle. Les kilomètres de peintures qui y étaient miraculeusement conservées ont révélé un extraordinaire décor où se déployaient des scènes de guerre, de chasse ou d'audiences royales, fourmillant de détails et de mouvements. Le musée du Louvre conserve des fragments originaux de ces superbes peintures dont le reste a depuis disparu, hormis quelques vestiges au musée national d'Alep.
