Artist’s Statement: Unmercenary Paul, the Good Samaritan

The image on the cover of this book depicts “Unmercenary Paul,” enlightened and healed by Christ, the divine human Outsider and brother who restores in him the divine likeness. Paul’s response is to go and do likewise, so that he becomes a sacramental sign of the divine therapy of the Incarnation. Just as Christ the Good Samaritan nourished Paul with His own Body and Blood the medicine of immortality so too Paul the anargyros humbly and lavishly offered medicine to those without silver or gold.
