THE REVELATION OF GOD IN THE BIBLICAL IMAGERY AND ART
Abstract
As biblical arguments for the idea of the unity of revelation and of the intrinsic relation of the two Testaments, Fra Angelico reproduces under each image from the complex Armadio degli argenti two scriptural texts: the first one is an Old Testament prophecy and the second one is a New Testament text that shows the fulfilment of the first. Each pair of texts exemplifies the idea of “wheel in the middle of the wheel” and demonstrates the authenticity of the holy text, and the reality and unity of revelation. God is the One Who speaks and the One spoken about. The revealed Word in the Old Testament is the Embodied Lord in the New Testament.
