The Stained Glass Windows
Introduction: The beautiful stained glass windows of the First Presbyterian Church of Greenville were designed to help impart the important parts of the bible to the viewers in a colorful and vibrant way.
The Books of Law Window: This first window presents the first five books of the Bible (Genesis through Deuteronomy), covering many centuries of time, developments and mysteries, so little of which can be presented in the space available and so much of which is beyond symbolizing.
The Books of History Window: This window represents the books of Joshua through Esther - 12 in all.
The Poets-Wisdom Books Window: Three oblique bars divide this window into four sections of unequal dimensions and patterns for presentation of the five Books (Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon). Each of the five books is independent of the others and are presented in the sequence in which they appear in the Bible.
The Prophets Window: The commentary on this window is divided into four divisions to aid in its study. The obvious lines flowing from right panel top through the window to left panel top unite the presentation of these seventeen books (Isaiah through Malachi) of the Bible. |
