Although not in the Bible, these popular stories have had a powerful influence on the Church's traditions and theology, and a particularly marked effect on visual representations of Christian belief. This book provides a lucid introduction to the relationship between the apocryphal texts and the paintings, mosaics, and sculpture in which they are frequently paralleled, and which have been so significant in transmitting these non-Biblical stories to generations of churchgoers.  aApocryphal books (New Testament)  aApocalyptic literature4 uhttps://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14852/53.jpgyCover Image
