DESCRIPTION:Lunchbox Lecture by Prof. Dr. Ben Myers (Professor of Theology
  and Literature\, Graduate Research School Director / Alphacrucis Universi
 ty College\, Sydney\, Australia)\n\n"Divine Representation in William Blak
 e’s Engravings"\n\nThis lecture argues that William Blake’s engravings
  on the Book of Job (1826) constitute a sustained argument about the probl
 ems and possibilities of divine representation. Blake’s multimodal engra
 vings combine word image to explore the transformation of Job’s percepti
 on of the divine. The work advances different representations of the divin
 e – for example\, God as lawgiver\, as providential overseer\, and as di
 stant father – only to critique and expose them as warped projections of
  the pious mind. The ultimate disappearance of any visible God-figure from
  the work is central to Blake’s theological argument about the represent
 ability of the divine.
