Discovering God through ancient paintings

I am enjoying two new books that I rec'd for Christmas.


Painting the Word: Christian Pictures and Their Meanings -- by John Drury; Paperback

A Journey into Christian Art by Helen De Borchgrave, Helen De Borchgrave (Hardcover - September 1, 2000)

I am rediscovering my love for art history (a passion in college, have several hours in it along with my design degree). It is amazing to realize that ancient painters would communicate biblical truths through their images to an illiterate society. I think there is application to todays world but just enjoying the messages of these great thinkers is enjoyable enough in itself.
