Summary The present volume is the first of eight that read Christian art and architecture in relation to Scripture and exegesis, to theology, to liturgy, and to devotional piety. Entitled Method and Meaning, it focusses on constants in the two millennia since artists began to interpret what Christians believe and experience. Its goal is to suggest an interdisciplinary approach suited to the variety of works produced in that temporal span. TABLE OF CONTENTS Author?s Foreword I. The Visible Word II. Images of Ideas III.
