Reviews

'Robin Jensen is our leading authrority on early Christian art [...] Her [...] splendid book will only enhance her reputation further.[...] The books is full of fascinating insights.' J.K. Elliott, Novum Testamentum 53 (2011) '...successful attempt to combine the study of textual evidence with that of visual art and physical environments connected to the liturgical theology and ritual practice of baptims in the early Church. [...] this book is well-written, and it is based on an updated bibliography in many languages. This makes it a very useful book [...]. Some parts are highly original and present interesting results of an innovative approach.' Olof Brandt, Theologische Literaturzeitung 138 (2013) 1
