The present volume is the second of eight that read Christian art and architecture in relation to Scripture and exegesis, to theology, to liturgy, and to devotional piety. Entitled ‘From the Catacombs to Gregory the Great’, it moves from the first efforts to translate biblical words into images, in the catacombs, to the rapid development of monumental architecture and art once Christianity became the state religion of the Empire. Rome, Jerusalem, Constantinople and Ravenna are the venues of this growth, whose logic changes when missionary activity extends the faith to northern Europe.
