Designs of Faith

Mark W. McGinnis: "Designs of Faith is a series of 12 large five panel paintings I call quintychs and 12 essays. The subject of both the paintings and essays are the following religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Baha'i, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism, the Dreaming Religion of Aboriginal Australia, Hopi Religion, Ifa Divination of the Yoruba of West Africa, and Inuit Spiritualism.  The content of the essays focus on the foundation history of the religions and the basic moral and ethical teachings of the faith.  The Designs of Faith Project was begun in 1992 and completed in 1998."
