The Ghent Altarpiece

Much of Saint Philip’s programming and formation for the 2022-2023 program year is built around the themes of creation care and environmental stewardship.

During the four weeks of Advent, Dr Kevin Justus* will study four altar pieces (one each Sunday) and examine them for the Divine and the artist’s pursuit to capture the perfect image of God.

At 10:15am this Sunday, November 27, join Kevin as he considers “Mystical Naturalness and Natural Mystery,” i.e., how does one manifest the sacrifice of God? The art this Sunday will be Jan Van Eyck’s The Ghent Altarpiece (below).

*Dr Justus wears many hats: musician, arranger, writer, musicologist and art historian. You can read about Kevin by clicking here.
