In His Image: Illustrations, Scriptures, Reflections and Meditations from an African-Centered Christian Perspective

More than forty stunning etchings depict scenes from the Bible from an African perspective in this collection of inspiring passages from the Old and New Testaments. The drawings by late Italian American print-maker Letterio Calapai illustrate favorite Bible stories such as David and Goliath, Noah and the flood, Daniel and the lions, and the battle of Jericho, and depict favorite heroes such as Moses, Job, Sampson, and King Solomon as Africans. Each drawing is accompanied by powerful

passages from the scriptures. With a Foreword by Dr. Jeremiah Wright and an Afterword by Dr. Frank M. Reid, two of today’s most well known Black theologians, In His Image is a gift quality book to treasure for decades to come.

The late Letterio Calapai was an Italian American printmaker born in Boston, Masschusetts. Throughout his 50 years in fine arts, Calapai is known for his development of emotion, color, and religious and literary themes in his artwork.
