Whether you are Christian or not it cannot be understated just how influential Christianity has been on Western Art. In this book Richard Harris traces the story of Christs birth, life, crucifixion and resurrection through undoubted masterpieces, both old and modern. The artworks and the stories which they reference are clearly explained without a hint of preaching. As an added bonus there are excerpts from the late Queen Elizabeth's Christmas speeches which clearly show how much her own faith provided a guiding light that illuminated her lifetime of service to her country and people.
