Reviews
Miles (Harvard Divinity School) carefully develops a discussion of language, hermeneutics, and the neglected hermeneutics of visual images. She then gives a lengthy consideration to visual images in fourth-century Roman churches, to images of women in 14th-century Tuscan painting, and to visions and images in 16th-century Protestant and Roman Catholic Reform. Her final chapters define the applicability of image use findings to a contemporary society flooded with secular media images, yet spiritually improverished in terms of images. A truly exciting book which will be of special interest to artists, art historians, church historians, theologians, and those concerned with hermeneutics.
