Summary/Abstract: The Light in the Bible: Theology of Stained Glass. From the beginning, he Bible knew how to collect a shimmering and vivid light: elusive as God himself, as the generous gift of life, clear as Wisdom and as straight as Justice! Image of God radiating tenderness over the world. Flame on the way for people learning to live, to love, simply to see the invisible visible, the spiritual in the carnal, like those heavy glass tiles, which, under the caress of light burst into song and become speech, with the lightness of a poem and the severity of a message from God! The Bible is itself a cathedral of light: it's no coincidence that the Christian faith has lined stone cathedrals of these large windows, light walls woven from biblical passages. The Bible is stained glass: it is designed to capture light and give him play forever, for the greater happiness and greater richness of its readers!
