This book offers a unique combination of reference material and practical guidance for the painter in any media. It is divided into two parts: the first is a directory of all major painting techniques, and gives examples of their use, and of the particular media appropriate to them.
Jo Kirby
Materials and working practices influence a painter just as much as contemporary intellectual and cultural developments.

Iain W. Provan
Provan treats 1 and 2 Kings as a unified whole nestled within its canonical context. Kings constantly presupposes knowledge of the remainder of the story of Israel and invites reflection upon itself in the light of the prophetic writings and of the New Testament. It is examined here as narrative literature with historiographical intent, designed to teach its readers about God and the Ways of God. Provan does a masterful job of drawing the reader's attention to themes that are repeated in Kings, such as the theme of God's promise and how it is fulfilled among God's people. He has succeeded in making Kings a more readily accessible book.
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.
