Wapenrusting Gods, 1688 1687 - 1689

"Wapen-Rustinge Gods, met het Tooneel van Gevaarlicke Aenberchtingen / ende Remedie daer tegen / genomen uyt de Heylige Schriftuer / water in een Deench Christen is of als in een blaeck-schijnende Spiegel / of by op den wegh des Heeren / han den wegh des duyvels" (1687-1689) is a work by the Dutch artist W. van Paddenburgh. The work is a printed broadsheet in a Dutch language that is organized like a chart, with columns and rows. It is a detailed study of the dangers and remedies of the Christian faith, as referenced in the Bible. The text is dense and full of quotations, making it an ideal reference for preachers and scholars. This piece is a compelling example of 17th-century Dutch religious visual culture.
