About This Book

An illustrated guide pairs major Gospel scenes with reproductions by celebrated painters, supplying scriptural citations, brief comments, and comparative-study suggestions. It proceeds through incidents traditionally associated with the life of Jesus—annunciation, nativity, ministry, passion, resurrection, and ascension—cataloging artworks for each episode and noting artists and relevant scripture. The text offers interpretive remarks on individual pictures, practical advice for employing images in religious instruction, and suggestions for connecting paintings to historical sites and visual references. Occasional pedagogical reflections address how photographs and illustrations can clarify biblical references for learners.
