SECTION COVER PAINTING The title of the painting on the cover is Justice Lifts the Nations. It was painted by Paul Robert in 1905. Francis A. Schaeffer explains the meaning of this painting in his book, How Should We Then Live?: "It is on the stairway in the old Supreme Court Building in Lausanne where the judges had to pass each time before going up to try a case. Robert wanted to remind them that the place which the Reformation gave to the Bible provided a basis not only for morals but for law. Robert pictured many types of legal cases in the foreground and the judges in their black robes standing behind the judges' bench. The problem is neatly posed: How shall the judges judge? On what basis shall they proceed so that their judgment will not be arbitrary? Above them Robert painted Justice standing unblindfolded, with her sword pointed not vertically upward but downward toward a book, and on the book is written The Law of God." (p. 106). |
