The concept behind this book is solid - a mixture of a wide variety of art related to Jesus and quotations. In the art the selection is marvelous Jose Clemente, John August Swanson, Giovanni Battisto, El Greco ... the variety of images of Christ presented is excellent, the printing of them is adequate. Unfortunately, the quotes are less broadly selected - they are biased towards the Jesus Seminar and Bishop Sprong theological threads. However, there are some wonderful selections from individuals such as Sojourner Truth, Corazon Aquino, Tolstoy, Napolean.This is not a safe volume to give to a conservative Christian unless you know them very well. However, it can be a choice for those who are theologically liberal in today's terminology, who are seekers, or who are interested in religion and Western culture in a more abstract manner.
