Face to Face: Portraits of the Divine in Early Christianity
Examining
how God and eventually Christ are portrayed in early Christian art,
Jensen explores questions of the relationship between art and theology,
conflicts over idolatry and iconography, and how the Christological
controversies affected the portrayals of Christ. Since much of this art
comes from ancient Rome, she places her analysis in the context of the
history of Roman portraiture. One hundred photographs enhance the
discussion.
