Reviews

""The highlight of the book is the selection of images and the grappling with the literal and the spiritual-the difficulties of representing historically real persons using contemporary models, and of conveying a ""something more"" beyond the surface, an element of transcendence... There's much to savor here!"" --Art & Theology
