It's the way he tells them

Article Abstract:

A survey of eminent theologians revealed a range of views about the biblical account of the Nativity. Although orthodox theologians accept that the Virgin Mary conceived Jesus without human intervention, the more liberal see Luke's account of the Christmas story as a beautiful literary myth. Jesus College, Cambridge, lecturer in modern theology Janet Martin Soskice maintains that Luke intended his account of the Nativity to be read as a symbolic narrative. Dean of Peterhouse, Cambridge, Graham Ward argues that Luke made no distinction between poetic and historical reality.

Confessions of a sculptor

Article Abstract:

Sculptor Anthony Gormley believes all his works focus on the relationship of people to space and time and the relationship between existence and infinity. He believes he communicates via his sculptures and is keen to make his audiences become unselfconsciously aware of themselves. Gormley won the 1994 Turner Prize with his lead body sculptures entitled 'Testing a World View.' The sculptures have been located in a wide variety of places, including Charleston Old Jail in Texas and Winchester Cathedral in England.
