'[This] tough and prodigiously learned, and amply illustrated,
[book considers] ... subjects of immediate importance not only to
art historians, but also to all concerned with the roots of
Christianity.' - Pamela Tudor-Craig, Church Times
'The book forms a highly accessible guide to the main apocryphal
sources for Christian iconography ... [it] is very well written,
simply structured, and has informative illustrations.' - Andrew
Spira, Reviews in Religion and Theology' ... an important document
for all lovers of Christian art.' - Nouvelle Revue Thélogique' ...
it is superbly illustrated with over a 100 plates and has evidently
been a labour of love. It is a book which will stimulate and open
up new avenues for the student in search of Christian origins.' -

demonstrates the influence of the New Testament apocrypha on art
from the third or fourth century down to the sixteenth ...' - The
