About the Author
Reviews
--New York Times Book Review
"This is a beautiful book . . . It supplements our conception of what constitutes the history of religious ideas, and it gives the history of the visual arts and architecture a new, enlivening perspective."
--Rudolf Arnheim
University of Michigan
"In addition to Miles's exhaustive research, the book's inherently interesting subect matter contributes to its arresting success. It is also a beautiful book, containing 16 pages of superb prints."
-- Christian Century
"In her innovative study, Miles argues for the recognition by church historians and theologians of the centrality of the visual image in the development of Christianity . . . Image as Insight is an extremely creative and useful book."
-- Theological Studies
