IMAGES OF SALVATION: THE STORY OF THE BIBLE THROUGH MEDIEVAL ART

literature, devotion, or the history of art.' Prof Helen Cooper, University
College, Oxford
This is a marvellous new tool for anyone teaching or studying the Middle
Ages.' Professor Eamon Duffy, Magdalene College Cambridge
The Images of Salvation CD-ROM, a resource developed by Christianity and
Culture, offers 180 images illustrating biblical themes from Genesis to
Revelation, together with background material explaining the doctrinal and
art historical context. Each section contains a selection of images from
manuscripts, stained glass or sculpture and includes summaries of the key
points and relevant texts from the Bible and later commentators. Individual
images are supplied with detailed commentary on important doctrinal and art
historical elements. At all points in the CD-ROM it is possible to access an
interactive reference section. The images can be viewed on the computer
screen, projected via Powerpoint or printed on acetate for use with overhead
projectors. This CD has been designed for use by both teachers and students.
