AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Though he is not insensitive to some of its possibilities, 'irony' is word curiously absent throughout John Drury's thesis. Yet, given the inherent tensions of intersecting worlds and time-frames, the ironies of the Christian story lurk everywhere in these pages. If, as so much of the evidence suggests, visualization has driven theology rather than vice versa, then this is a topic that historians of Christian art need to address more in the future."The Very Reverend John Drury is the author of 'Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and Their Meanings', published 2002 under ISBN 9780300092943 and ISBN 0300092946.
