NCLA Review: Jane Williams is a tutor in Theology at St. Mellitus College in London and Chelmsford and a visiting lecturer at King's College in London, England. Ms. Williams is a Christian theologian, not an artist or art historian. This slim volume is not about artists or their techniques, but "Christology—the study of the person and work of Jesus Christ." The author uses paintings and some sculptures from various centuries to make theological points. "When artists paint Jesus, they help us to see both idealized humanity, which we can emulate, and our own actual humanity..." This is a beautifully illustrated book with famous and not so well-known artists' portrayals of Christ. FACES OF CHRIST traces the Biblical story of Jesus from the annunciation through to His resurrection and ascension. The accompanying text explains the author's theological views as informed by the artists' works. If your library does not have works of art, this would be an excellent choice to begin.
