Even though the concept of hell seems so far fetched and unreal, Edwards delivery of his sermon scares his listeners into believing what he is saying, thus prompting them to follow his step by step plan for them to be saved. Later into his sermon, Edwards paints a beautiful picture of god dangling sinners above the fiery volcano known as hell.

For example in The Calling of Saint Matthew, the light is being cast from behind the figure that represents Caravaggio’s modern day depiction of Christ who is pointing toward Saint Matthew in whom which the light creates a spotlight on. Here Caravaggio uses the technique of chiaroscuro to illustrate the scene in which Jesus called Matthew to be one of the Twelve Disciples. Time, especially the moment frozen in time In regards to two Baroque works that significantly display a moment frozen in time are Vermeer’s painting, Woman Reading a Letter, and Lorenzo Bernini statue, David.

Bronze Bow Summary Chapters 4-7 Daniel has come back to the house for a day or two to see how his family was doing. They gave him what food they had but he was still very hungry, he did not want to ask for more because he knew the response would be there is no more.
