Brill The Apostles in Early Christian Art and Poetry: 134 (Vigiliae Christianae, Supplements, 134)

In The Apostles in Early Christian Art and Poetry the relation between visual and poetic images of Christ's closest followers is discussed from the time of the first Christian figural images and poetry till the political end of the undivided Roman Empire (250-400). Review ' This work has much to commend it. It is both ambitious and, as regards a study of early Christian poetry, admirably thorough. It is accompanied by an extensive bibliography, appendices, and 50 illustrations, most in color.' Robin M. Jensen, University of Notre Dame, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.02.55 ' This wonderful, learned book [...] provides a feast for anyone who takes an interest in early Christian literary and material culture, or in the development of apostolic tradition before 400.'
