Christ our Morning Star – the art and inspiration of Sieger Koder

ISBN: 9781904785613

The Church’s ancient hymn of Easter praise addresses Christ as the Morning Star. It refers to a natural phenomenon when the planet Venus appears in the east before sunrise, sometimes seeming to be the very sun itself, as it rises in the sky. This image of the morning star brings hope of a new day and a new dawn.  Sieger Koder uses images of Scriptures and daily life to show that we can find God in everything – if only we have eyes to see. We feel privileged to offer you this rich reflection on Fr. Koder’s paintings in an accessible format and we hope it will be a valuable resource for you as the Spirit continues to open your understanding of the Scriptures in the gentle radiance of Christ our Morning Star.
