T-shirts with a rich theology... introducing Classicus Tees!!! Here's some background to each shirt... Theophilus Tee: https://lnkd.in/d8wBh-wR Luke the Evangelist, who wrote more than any other New Testament writer, began both his books by addressing the “most excellent Theophilus.” Theophilus means friend of God. The medieval-esque graphic on the front is a re-sketch of Duccio di Buoninsegna’s 14th century painting, “Road to Emmaus." The original tempera painting captures the story of the resurrected Christ accompanying two disciples on the road to Emmaus, a powerful symbol of Jesus’ promise to walk with and teach us along the way of life. The Theophilus tee was created to spark evangelistic conversations with unbelievers, while reminding current believers that we are friends of God because of Christ’s finished work upon the cross. Civitas Dei Long Sleeve Tee: https://lnkd.in/d6VCu83T Augustine's magnum opus, City of God, provided the impetus for the Civitas Dei shirt. The tower of Babel image was inspired by Pieter Bruegel’s 1563 painting, and typifies man's wayward attempts to glorify the “city of man.” American conservative William F. Buckley, Jr. warned against this sentiment with his 1950s catchphrase, "Don't Immanentize the Eschaton!" Buckley’s erudite slogan cautions against attempts to create the end times (the eschaton) on earth (immanent). The Civitas Dei shirt is both a warning and a reminder: a warning against attempts to build a Heaven on Earth, and a reminder that our true citizenship is in Heaven with Christ. (Phil 3:20)
