The Father & His Two Sons highlights art from the Larry and Mary Gerbens Collection, both purchases and original commissions from contemporary artists. This collection resides as part of the permanent art collection of Calvin University.
It is an inspiring resource of both visual and written testimonies that celebrate this timeless and evocative parable found in Luke 15. In many times and places, using many methods and media, artists have sought to visualize this provocative parable. This wonderful collection of rich visual imagery accompanied by stories, prose, poems and artist statements was featured at the 2009 Calvin Symposium on Worship.
