From the rear cover
"Couchman offers a readable and user-friendly guide to deciphering and interpreting Christian visual art. She is rightly keen to meet the urgent need for a new depth of theological vision in the church and beyond." --Jeremy Begbie, Duke Divinity School; Author of Voicing Creation's Praise: Towards a Theology of the Arts
"Couchman offers a history of images in Christian art that we can assimilate into our own work. A must-read for students of the Bible whatever your outlet for creativity." --Gary Bradley, Gallery Owner and International Director, Via Affirmativa, an International Arts Movement
"For those of us who work professionally with Christian iconography in the twenty-first century, The Art of Faith is a book to keep close at hand." --Edward Knippers, Visual Artist "This delightful volume opens for the reader the beauty and meaning of Christian art through the centuries. It teaches us a whole new vocabulary, a language of colors and forms, and equips us to take part in the faith of Christian artists of every century and continent, who worshiped the Lord in beauty and truth." --Frederica Mathewes-Green, Author of The Open Door and The Jesus PrayerMedia reviews
