5.0 out of 5 stars Eloquent and Accessible: for scholars and for the mainstream, Mar 15 2006
By Anne Rice "Anne Rice" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Key to the Brescia Casket: Typology and the Early Christian Imagination (Paperback)
This fine and convincing book is about the interpretation of the religious carvings on a small ivory casket dated to 390 a.d. Tkacz used typology -- the study of "Old Testment people and events as prefiguring the Messiah" to present a comprehensive theory as to the casket's fifty-nine carvings. What makes this book so valuable for the mainstream is that all its many scholarly quotations are presented in English, and the writing is patient and clear. Anyone fascinated by the early centuries of Christianity, by the questions as to what the early Christians believed and how they expressed themselves pictorially will be impressed by this book, if not perhaps enthralled. The book provides an experience during which one learns about Scriptural interpretation as one learns about the complexity of this precious relic. A rewarding read.
