ReVisioning

Description

ReVisioning examines the application of art-historical methods of investigation to the study of Christianity and art. As art history has become more interdisciplinary, discussions of religion in art and visual culture more generally have emerged. The contents of this book represents the first critical examination of scholarly methodologies applied to the study of Christian subjects, themes, and contexts in art. ReVisioning contains original work from a range of scholars, each of whom addresses the question ‘How have particular methods of art history been applied, and to what effect?’ with regard to a well-known work of art or body of work. The study moves from the third century to the present, providing extensive treatment and analysis of the history of Christianity and art.
