The Museum of Biblical Art (MOBIA), which opens on Thursday, describes itself as the nation's first scholarly museum devoted to art and the Bible.

This slide show includes work by Rev. Phillips. The Museum of Biblical Art is in New York and can be reached at 212-408-1500

"Jonah and the Great Fish", circa 1950s, drawing materials on oil cloth.

The Biblical charts of Rev. Phillips were displayed at the Intuit Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art of Chicago in 1998. This introduced his important works to people outside of his family and the church community were he served.

Ms Jan Petry, a Board Member of the Intuit Center, was so impressed with Rev. Phillips' charts that she endorsed bringing the show to the Center. She later connected well enough to make the ultimate statement of appreciation. She bought the work shown below from Turtel Onli.

It was used on the cover of Intuit's program catalog celebrating its tenth year of promoting the genre of visual expression.

"Beast of Seven Heads", circa 1950s drawing materials on oil cloth.

"Double Crucifix" Circa 1950s: This a chart that presents the passage brought about by the Crucifixion. It also deals with the fate of the two men who were taken with Jesus in this act of terror and deliverance. It is still a chart with immense study potential.

" ROME" circa 1970 pencils, crayons on oil cloth canvas approximately 46" X 60": With this chart Rev. Phillips would deliver a sermons dealing with how the Romans tried to crush the Christian movement in its empire using a variety of torturous methods. Each method is shown in the chart with the Christian victims all smiling in happiness for the honor to die for their faith. This is one of Rev. Phillips final charts.

This is one of Rev. Phillips' later works. It depicts the cruelty that Christian martyrs suffered at the hands of Roman repression. Torture, murder, stoning, boiling in oil, being buried alive, and even being dismembered are shown in this chart. However on closer examination one sees that the Christian victims appear to be smiling. Happy in the face of such suffering because they are full of their faith in God and all things Christian as they were already Born Again.
