Opis: The Cross - Serena Fass

Serena Fass has attempted to illustrate Jesus' Great Commission: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved." (Mark 16: 15 - 16) and has presented a balance between the many different strands of the Christian faith, for each century, from the earliest Christians in Pompeii until today, and criss-crossing the globe from North to South: from Norway to Mozambique - and West to East: from Peru to Australia. Categories include architecture, painting, sculpture, ivories, textiles, metalwork, jewellery and portraits of people wearing crosses, as well as examples of the cross in nature. "Of all the world's great religious symbols, the Cross is the most widespread and the most enduring. This beautiful book celebrates it in all its countless varieties, as perhaps it has never been celebrated before." John Julius Norwich, Chairman of Venice in Peril (1971-2000), Chairman of Serenissima Travel (1972-1987) "The Cross has been an inspiration to millions for over two thousand years and continues to be so today. This book by Serena Fass explores some of the many ways in which the Cross has been seen and recorded. When times are good, or bad, the symbol of the Cross guides us and gives us hope. The one thing that unites us, under which we can all stand, is surely the Sign of the Cross." Field Marshal the Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, President of the Army Benevolent Fund "This is a wonderful book. These images, gathered in one place, are an unique experience for the believer and non-believer alike. They are extraordinary artistic representations of great beauty from all over the world. Serena Fass's passion to follow her path is palpable as you turn the pages."
