John Renard, Saint Louis University: Religion and the Arts Journal, 2003
" . . . S. Brent Plate offers a volume ideal for a general introductory course on the arts of major religious traditions."

Review
“The essays in Religion, Art and Visual Culture... reveal what is unique and what is common in our human desire to see God...an enlightening trip for anyone who keeps an altar, or wonders why other people do.” —Donald Cosentino, UCLA
