Harries, Bishop of Oxford, surveys the Crucifixion of Christ from its earliest depiction in Christian art to the present, exploring how the art in each age reflected the Christian understanding at the time. In order to keep his account focused, he does not deal with any part of the Passion cycle except the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. He describes one image from each century, beginning with the second, except that he considers several from the 20th century. Among the stages of his journey are a sixth-century Gospel book, a Byzantine mosaic, an Ottonian crucifix of the 10th century, a 13th-century illuminated Gospel, and Marc Chagall's The White Crucifixion. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Jesus was not depicted on the cross until the early fifth century. Since then this scene has been painted or carved in sharply differing ways. With the aid of over thirty full-page plates, The Passion in Art explores the historical contexts and theologies that led to such differing depictions. Because the first Christians saw the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus as different aspects of a unified victory over sin and death, scenes of the Passion are juxtaposed with some of the Resurrection, which again are highly varied in what they do and do not show. This is the first book to consider the Passion as portrayed in the whole sweep of Christian history. Each picture is considered both from the point of view of its context and its theological standpoint. Spanning the centuries, the images reproduced and discussed include: scenes from the Passion of Christ in the Catacombs of Domitilla, mosaics in Ravenna, the Rabbula Crucifixion and Resurrection, the Crucifixion Plaque from Metz, the Gero Crucifix, Cimabue's Crucifix, Giotto's Noli me Tangere, Piero della Francesca's Resurrection, the Isenheim altarpiece, Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus, Rembrandt's Christ on the Cross, Chagall's White Crucifixion, contemporary paintings by Stanley Spencer, Graham Sutherland, Nicholas Mynheer, and many more works of great acclaim.
