Christ among Us

Arts & Literature

“Christ among Us offers all students of religious art a wonderful opportunity to reflect upon select sculptures of Jesus created throughout the history of art. Art historians Becherer and Luttikhuizen join the growing group of transdisciplinary scholars studying the reception history of biblical art. Using art historical methodology in a traditional exhibition format of individual catalog entries, the reader studies individual sculptures within their historical and cultural contexts. In essence, this study serves as a mini handbook of sculptural images of Jesus ‘on exhibition’ within the covers of this lavishly illustrated and enjoyable book.”

Gospel as Work of Art

Theology

“In this beautifully illustrated and ambitious volume, David Brown convincingly argues that ‘reading’ the gospel through visual images indicates the inventive and imaginative nature of the gospel writers. Theologians, biblical historians, and art historians are challenged to consider this premise and rediscover the interconnectivity of word and image for today’s academic and Christian communities.”
