Jesus of Nazareth: no other person has been such
a source of inspiration to believers and artists. The depictions
and illustrations are innumerable. Eleven themed contributions penned by internationally renowned specialists provide authoritative access to aspects that are essential for an understanding of Jesus of Nazareth. Numerous examples from the world of art accompany the texts. In terms of historical styles, they exemplify historically the development of cultural connections as well as theological conceptions; they show how the change in people’s comprehension of Jesus is expressed in the evolution of the Jesus pictures. A detailed iconographic index to the illustrations offers an insight into the abundance of the works by theme and inspires comparative examination. Two double-paged excursuses go deeper into the individual topics and elucidate core aspects in exemplary style. |
