Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

While many people are familiar with the most famous European masters who painted scenes from the life of Christ, fewer can name the top-notch Christian artists who continue to develop the craft around the world today. Christ for All People: Celebrating a World of Christian Art treats readers to contemporary depictions of Jesus from more than 60 cultures; particularly fascinating are the many contributions from Third World Christians. The pieces are done in a variety of media, including mosaic, oil paintings, charcoal sketches, acrylic, sculpture, cut paper, tapestry, wood carving and chalk.
