MICA A Modern Iconography of Christian Art

This book offers a contemporary and readable approach to the contents and meaning of Christian art through the ages. It presents some hundred and twenty saints from Jesus Christ to Padre Pio, not leaving out the protagonists of the Jewish holy books. Its originality resides in its discussions of the actual importance of the themes and personalities dealt with. It brings in a unique way the Christian heritage to life, and with it two thousand years of Western culture.
