Sacred Meaning in the Christian Art of the Middle Ages

The Kent State University Press

With absorbing prose and detailed images, Stephen Fliegel unlocks the secrets of these sacred objects and portrays medieval Christian believers as souls kindred to us - humans striving in their own time to discern and preserve religious meaning and decorum. Fliegel provides a rich understanding of the allegorical images that helped the church to communicate to the faithful through visual narrative and also provides a rich, textured understanding of sacred art and architecture.
