Scope and Contents

This is an account of a complex visual/verbal painting, The Man of Sorrows (by Coleman after Bosch), that is his revelation of the hidden truths about Jesus Christ based upon Apocrypha, stories about Christ striken from New Testament because they clashed with view of Jesus that the church wished to perpetuate as well as Pagan and Jewish anti-Christian writings available soon after Jesus' death. Tipped full- color fragments of the painting are explained by Coleman in a printed calligraphic text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
