'The basic focus which this book is concerned with, a strong new pact has been forged between Theology and Art History. Carefully calibrated methodologies have been developed to unite the world
of the word and the world of the visual medium as a truly interdisciplinary research object. Historical-critical exegesis, church history, iconology and cultural anthropology together provide
foundational support for knowledge of broader visual themes, and the functions of works of art. In their interplay they become the gateway to the 'Interspaces of word, gaze and touch'--Back
