"Throughout history, Jesus of Nazareth has unquestionably been the most inspirational subject of great works of art and literature. His life and message have strongly permeated Western art of all periods, influencing giants such as Fra Angelico, Picasso, Oscar Wilde, and Edgar Allan Poe. In this richly illustrated book, Pierre-Marie Dumont has chosen nearly one hundred iconographic works, from early Christian through modern art. He analyzes and compares them to passages from the Bible and excerpts from great literary texts, offering the reader an extraordinary variety of aesthetic interpretations of the life of Jesus and his teaching. Through works as diverse as The hand of God by Auguste Rodin, The raising of Lazarus by Rembrandt, and the 'Hidden God' by Blaise Pascal, Dumont highlights the evocative power of the figure of Jesus, who for Christians is the 'Christ of God'"--
