Reviews for ReVisioning
"The essays in this book offer detailed attention to particular works in a way that often brings fresh understanding. Anyone interested in the relationship between Christian faith and art will find much that is helpful." Richard Harries, Modern Believing, 56.3, July 2015 "Within this fulsome collection, researchers will be pleased to find no less than 39 black and white illustrations as well as 24 full-colour plates. Scholars of art history in general and more specifically researchers in theology and the arts will be well served by this rigorous and engaging exploration of how to bridge these disciplines more carefully. It represents a unique resource for faculty and graduate students." -Taylor Worley, Theological Book Review, Vol. 27 No.1, 2016
