How I spent my lecture

The styles of the first three show a fairly typical progression through time; I'd guess northern European, maybe Dutch. Number 4 steps backwards again (maybe between 1 and 2, chronologically), and something about it looks British to me. I think it's the bishop's nose. Those four are all explicitly Christian; 6 is newer (between 2 and 3-I'd call it "late medieval" or "early renaissance" as if either of those terms is well-defined in art), and feels secular. Number 5 is "oriental". Ottoman, I'd guess. Saracen influence on the Eastern church.

You lectured on the evolving cultural roles of Christ and the church.

All images are from medieval Europe, except for # 6, which is (very) early 16th century N. German)

All images are from England, 12th-15th cent., except for 2 (France), 3 (N. German) 5. (German)

you were crucified repeatedly, felt like you died, resurrected, sent into a giant swirling vagina of peace and then rode out of town as fast as you could?

Proving that sheep, and possibly horses, are Christian?

I dunno, but the doghouse on my tattoo has a sign reading INRI and a cross on top. That's all I have to add.
