Summary
"Designed to look beyond the artistic merit of the 100 depictions of Christian saints reproduced here -- often well known to us as visual images -- to discuss the meanings behind them. Brief descriptions of each piece recount the stories they represent and explain, further, the relevant religious, historical, and cultural context"--Provided by publisher.
