EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "The Pharisee and Publican" transports us back in time to a biblical scene filled with religious significance. Created by the talented artist Siegfried Detler Bendixen, this print captures a moment from one of the Preceptive Illustrations of the Bible published by Thomas Varty around 1880. In this thought-provoking image, we witness two contrasting figures: the proud Pharisee and the humble publican. The parable depicted here is derived from Luke 18:9-14 and tells a powerful story about self-righteousness and true repentance. As we gaze upon this engraving, our attention is drawn to the expressions on both characters' faces. The Pharisee stands tall with an air of superiority, his eyes lifted towards heaven as if seeking approval for his righteous deeds. On the other hand, the publican bows low in humility before God, unable even to lift his eyes but instead clutching at his chest in remorseful supplication. Through intricate details and vivid colors, Bendixen masterfully brings this biblical tale to life. This print serves as a reminder that genuine faith lies not in outward displays of piety but rather in sincere hearts that acknowledge their own shortcomings. With its rich historical context and profound spiritual message, "The Pharisee and Publican" invites viewers to reflect on their own attitudes towards righteousness and humility. It serves as an enduring testament to Jesus Christ's teachings found within the pages
