{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Despite increasing ethnic diversity in Germany, racist structures are still deeply rooted in society,\r\nas is demonstrated by various initiatives and studies. Racism is also evident in the depiction of\r\nJesus Christ, who traditionally is portrayed as 'white' in Christian art, although he must be read\r\nbiblically as a Person of Color (PoC). Examples such as the “Wales Window for Alabama” (1964)\r\nby Ronald John Petts and the contemporary icon by Kelly Latimore “Christ in The Rubble” (2023)\r\nshow Jesus as PoC and address racism and social justice. Children’s Bibles continue to be\r\ndominated by ‘white’ depictions of Jesus and the people around him. Works such as the chil-\r\ndren’s Bibles by Desmond Tutu (lyrics) / Laure Fournier et al. (illustration) (2010), Sören Dalevi\r\n(lyrics) / Marcus-Gunnar Petterson (illustration) (2022), Willemijn de Weerd (lyrics) / Marieke ten\r\nBerge (illustration) (2022) and Andrea Karimé (lyrics) / Anna Lisicki-Hehn (illustration) (2023) of-\r\nfer more diverse and racism-sensitive depictions that contribute to the promotion of diversity\r\ncompetence and positive identity formation. The article argues for a more extensive representa-\r\ntion of diversity in depictions of Jesus Christ in Christian art and children’s Bibles in order to\r\navoid discriminatory stereotypes and to encourage PoC, children and adults.\r\n"}],"file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"relation":"main_file","date_updated":"2026-03-27T07:47:21Z","creator":"keuchen","date_created":"2026-03-27T07:47:21Z","file_size":1334409,"file_name":"BiKu_2024_05_Keuchen_Lerke_Jesus-Darstellungen.pdf","access_level":"closed","file_id":"65162"}],"publication":"Die Bibel in der Kunst/ Bible in the Arts","ddc":["200"],"language":[{"iso":"ger"}],"year":"2024","corporate_editor":["Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft"],"quality_controlled":"1","title":"Vielfalt begrüßen.
