Revelation: Representations of Christ in Photography

Revelation: Representations of Christ in Photography is the first book ever published that explores the influence of other art forms on photographic representations of Christ, while also examining the independent evolution of photography's tradition of portraying scenes from the New Testament over a century and a half of image-making. The entire photographic tradition of representing Christ is explored, including the representation of Christ in films. From the contemplative to the controversial, the images illustrate the work of an outstanding cast of international photographers.
