Face to Face: Portraits of the Divine in Early Christianity hardback

Face to Face: Portraits of the Divine in Early Christianity hardback by Robin Margaret Jensen was published by Augsburg Fortress Publishers in December 2004. The ISBN for Face to Face: Portraits of the Divine in Early Christianity hardback is 9780800660925.

Examining how God and eventually Christ are portrayed in early Christian art, Jensen explores questions of the relationship between art and theology, conflicts over idolatry and iconography, and how the Christological controversies affected the portrayals of Christ. Since much of this art comes from ancient Rome, she places her analysis in the context of the history of Roman portraiture. One hundred photographs enhance the discussion.
