Description

Explore the connection between early religious texts and visual history with Art and the Christian Apocrypha from Routledge. While the New Testament forms the official canon of scripture, many traditional stories regarding the origins of the Church were excluded. These apocryphal stories have nonetheless exerted a massive influence on Church traditions, theology, and the way Christian beliefs are visually represented. This book offers a clear introduction to how apocryphal texts relate to various forms of art. Readers can learn how these non-Biblical stories are reflected in paintings, mosaics, and sculpture. By studying these connections, you gain insight into how visual media has helped transmit these important historical narratives to many generations of believers. It is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between religious literature and the history of Christian art.
