About This Item
Oakland, California: University of California Press, 2015. Hardcover. VG (Slight wear to dj edges, otherwise clean.). Black ridged boards, gilt letters on spine, black & color illus. dust jacket, 297 pp., 12 color plates, sundry BW illus. "Tells the history of Christianity from the sixteenth century through the present by selecting the visual themes of faith that have profoundly influenced its development. After exploring how distinctive Catholic and Protestant visual cultures emerged in the early modern period, Morgan examines a variety of Christian visual practices, ranging from the imagination, visions of nationhood, the likeness of Jesus, the material life of words, and the role of modern art as a spiritual quest to the importance of images for education, devotion, worship, and domestic life. An insightful, informed presentation of how Christianity has shaped and continues to shape the modern world, this work is a must-read for scholars and students across the fields of religious studies, history, and art history."
