Discover From the Bible

12. What is the Church?

12 - Church

The questions are the title of the above painting by Paul Gauguin, explained in Wikipedia as follows:

Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going? (French: D’où venons-nous ? Que sommes-nous ? Où allons-nous ?) is an 1897–98 painting by French artist Paul Gauguin. The painting was created in Tahiti and is in the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts. Viewed as a masterpiece by Gauguin, the painting is considered “a philosophical work comparable to the themes of the Gospels”.

Wiki explains that Gauguin attended a Catholic boarding school with a strong religious focus, and although he became anticlerical, these questions stayed with him.
