Art History/Rembrant's religious paintings

Question
How did Rembrant's approach to biblical paintings change throughout his career? and how do his Biblical paintings compare with Dutch contemporaries?

Answer
Hello Anne - and thank you for your question.  Rembrandt's (please spell his name correctly!) style should be easy to trace using a library -- or even, the Internet.  Your question is far too long for me to attempt here, so I suggest you answer your own question by LOOKING at Rembrandt's works and undertaking your own comparison - a good place to start might be www.wga.hu or art history resources on the web.  Your question sounds like a homework question, and I am not prepared to do your homework for you.  However if you do have a specific question, I am pleased to try and answer it for you -- but keep it short and focussed -- there's not time nor space for me to write an essay.
Good luck
