About the Book

The strength of this study lies in the combination of expertise in biblical studies and art history. This book's methodology is both historical and hermeneutical. Each chapter begins with an overview of the biblical passage, noting significant rhetorical features and the overarching theological argument. Next, the selected work of art is contextualized by a brief biography of the artist, placing the work within the artist's own oeuvre, discussing what is known of the patronage of the specific image, and discussing important social, political, and religious factors that may facilitate our understanding of the painting. A formal and iconographic analysis (which also briefly traces the visual and literary sources and precedents for the work) is followed by a comparison between the biblical scene and the work of art, nothing the ways in which the artist's (or patron's) cultural context has provided a basis for the "textual expansion" of the biblical story, that is, adding material not found in the story itself but which, given the social, religious, and historical context of the artist, is a natural extension of the story.

Review :
"[Hornik and Parsons] bring the combined expertise of biblical scholarship and art history to bear on an enticing and valuable study of select scenes from Luke's gospel...The authors' commentary allows for a dialectic between art criticism and biblical exposition, which further illumines the beauty and drama of these gospel scenes." -The Bible Today--Sanford Lakoff
