The Image of Christ by Neil Macgregor
Rather than presenting a life of Christ in art, this book explores the challenges facing artists when representing Jesus - God who became a man. It traces how the image of Christ that we recognize today evolved over two millennia, from the earliest metaphorical symbols of the Shepherd, the Lamb, and the Vine to the emergence of a 'true likeness'.
“Engaging. . a novel approach to [a] seemingly familiar subject . . . insightful.”—Jeremy W. H. Arnold, Religious Studies Review -- Jeremy W. H. Arnold * Religious Studies Review *
