Reviews

Susangeline Patrick’s scholarly breadth is on full display in this book. Art as contextualization, art as spiritual battleground, art as power, devotion, and didactic tool. She masterfully weaves together the history of five religious orders and four continents. Patrick’s attention to the visual culture of Asian women, Protestants, and the mendicant orders fills a lacuna in the scholarship. A concise, evocative, and stimulating text. Highly recommended. * Anneke H. Stasson, Indiana Wesleyan University *
