"Christianity is another country, says John Drury, and we need to familiarize ourselves with it in order to understand the universal meaning of its art. In this book, Drury, an Anglican priest and theologian, looks at religious paintings through the ages and presents them to us in a fresh way - as works filled with passion, stories and meaning. They become the poetry of such eternal human concerns as birth, death, sacrifice, love and moral goodness and failure."--BOOK JACKET.
