For Christians interested in early church history

Challenges the myth of Christians rejecting visual art

You will gain insights into the role of art in faith

This book explores how early Christians embraced art to enhance their worship spaces.

In this text, the author refutes the traditional assumption that early Christians were opposed in principle to visual images and thus produced no art. He asserts that once Christians acquired legal status and were able to own property and places of worship, they produced art to decorate them.
