Author: Not Available

Image Title: Architectural Title-Page Border

Scripture Reference:

• Psalms 51 (further images / scripture text)

Description: Two columns frame this architectural title-page border: on the left column the personification of faith kneels, clutching a heart with the right hand; on the right, the personification of religion kneels atop a skeleton while bracing a bridle against the crossbeam of what may be a cross. Both figures gaze upward where a shining Hebrew tetragrammaton, representing God as YHWH, shines through the clouds above an altar with a flaming heart. Below the title panel, King David kneels with harp in hand, accompanied by scripture from Psalm 51:10: “Create in me a clean heart, O God”.
