我主聖傳圖：基督聖像與聖經故事（國際英文版）

1844年大清帝國簽訂《中法黃埔條約》，明確規定准許傳教與設立教堂自由，從此解除了中國的百年教禁，而法國也取代葡萄牙獲得「在華保教權」（Protectorate of Missions）；1911年辛亥革命、大清覆亡、民國繼起，英美法等列強的壓力，讓國民政府對各國採取雨露均霑的開放政策，而一紙「在華保教權」，暗地裡掀起了法國與羅馬梵諦岡教廷之間在中國的諜對諜。1919年北平掀起的五四運動成為「反對帝國主義的宗教文化侵略」，讓遠在羅馬的主教擔憂不已，為了拉攏中國教民的心，梵蒂岡教宗本篤十五世頒布《夫至大通諭》（Maximum illud），訂定中國宣教應當設身處地融入在地民情，爾後於1922年派出首任宗座駐華代表剛恆毅，領總主教銜抵達北平駐節中國，順利建立中國宣教的本土化方針。
 
剛恆毅在北平期間邂逅了輔大美術系陳緣督畫師，掀起了中國藝術史上革命的新樂章，為中國藝術添加了西方文化的《聖經》本體。在兩位中外藝術大師集合美學、宗教、繪畫與考古等元素下，以中式水墨筆觸結合聖經故事的《我主聖傳圖》終於誕生。

本書特色

《Book Insight》漢世紀域外漢學計畫：透過梵諦岡蒐藏的中國畫師陳緣督畫冊中第20幅《最後的晚餐》，根據歷史記錄與聖經故事，推敲陳緣督畫師在30年代繪製此畫之時恐尚未有機會親眼目睹15世紀由達文西在米蘭修道院所繪製的《最後的晚餐》（繪製時間1495年～1497年）。第二次世界大戰期間，米蘭遭受轟炸，為保護畫作，軍方與人民以沙包、木板將整面牆做了嚴密的保護，直到近年才重新公開此畫。有趣的是，除了中、西《最後的晚餐》版本對於十二門徒的詮釋方式可以對照外（例如領著錢袋出賣耶穌的猶大），中畫以燈籠、明月取代西畫耶穌後方的光源，擺設家具、服裝儀容等，都有各自表現的典雅濃厚的韻味。耶穌被釘十字架之前，在最後晚餐設立了聖餐禮；聖餐禮的重要性，在於紀念與期待未來神國的實現。《最後的晚餐》，可知中西方對耶穌與門徒的約定，總是世人對此的盼望。對於喜愛研究宗教藝術史的讀者，本書非常值得推薦典藏。

About one of the contributors of Bible: Luke is very concerned about Humility, the spirit of self-dedication. Being a doctor, Luke can achieve another secular career, but he chose to use his scientific skills to promote the early Christian Missionary. Luke has kept detailed records of the evangelistic message Jesus in the Bible in view of historic truth and records.
