The best part of this book is the collection of glossy photos showing masterpieces of 16th- and 17th-century Italian art. The sculptures and paintings exemplify how artistic geniuses delved into Catholicism's deposit of faith to convey biblical and theological themes and events.
The next best thing is the author's description of the techniques used by artists to draw the viewer into their works and direct eyes to the sections giving visual expression to religious concepts.
