Rejesus has an amazing collection of pictures of Jesus drawn from just about every culture and art tradition imaginable. It would make a great introduction to a lesson about Jesus. The web site includes a reader’s poll about which one you think Jesus would have been like, which would make a great exercise for a lesson.
There’s also a section on pictures of unexpected faces of Jesus popping up in clouds, stars, trees and, my favourte, some asparagus!
I also came across this stash of pictures: http://theoldbill.typepad.com/photos/images_of_jesus/index.html
I just found this youtube video which includes lots of images of Jesus from around the world. Interesting music is used which you can choose whether to include or not!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xO91w6iDZU
Yeah Amy - I hold my hands up - It was me :)
I used the link for the pics - downloaded them all and with a bit of mac magic i made a video of it too - i did a talk at church about it you can listen here ( http://www.podcastfm.co.uk/about.php?guid=1196853510475688e33b37d ) if you have 30 minutes to kill - shabba! Lee J
Here’s a decent website with public domain pictures of jesus: http://picture-of-jesus.com. it’s pretty interesting that Jesus looks almost the same in nearly every painting since the year 300. Why is that?
