Henry Walters and Bernard Berenson: Collector and Connoisseur

Thu, 01 May 2025
This collection of excerpts, primarily from Stanley Mazaroff's book, offers an overview of Henry Walters, an American collector and businessman, and his relationship with the art connoisseur Bernard Berenson. It describes Walters's significant 1902 purchase of the Massarenti collection, a large group of Italian paintings fraught with misattributions and copies. The text examines Walters's motivations for building his collection, his financial prowess as a railroad magnate, and his eventual engagement of Berenson to evaluate and catalogue his holdings, despite Walters's initial reluctance and Berenson's prior dismissal of the Massarenti collection. The sources also touch upon the prevalent issue of art forgeries and questionable attributions during this period and the complicated, sometimes deceitful, business relationship between collectors and dealers like Walters and Berenson, particularly highlighting Berenson's controversial partnership with Joseph Duveen. Finally, the materials touch on the legacy of Walters's collection, its eventual bequest to the city of Baltimore, and reflections on the challenges of art connoisseurship and collecting.

Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture

Thu, 01 May 2025
This academic work, Helping the Good Shepherd: Pastoral Counselors in a Psychotherapeutic Culture, 1925–1975 by Susan E. Myers-Shirk, explores the historical development of pastoral counseling within the context of an evolving psychotherapeutic landscape in the United States. The book examines how liberal Protestant clergy navigated the increasing influence of psychology and science on their traditional roles as spiritual guides. It traces the emergence of clinical pastoral education and the theories and practices that shaped pastoral counseling, including the impact of figures like Anton Boisen and Carl Rogers. Furthermore, the study considers how pastoral counselors addressed issues of morality, gender, and the individual in their counseling approaches, while also analyzing the later rise of evangelical Christian counseling as a distinct movement.
