About this product

Product Information

Originally published in 1983, Leo Steinberg's classic work has changed the viewing habits of a generation. After centuries of repression and censorship, the sexual component in thousands of revered icons of Christ is restored to visibility. Steinberg's evidence resides in the imagery of the overtly sexed Christ, in Infancy and again after death. Steinberg argues that the artists regarded the deliberate exposure of Christ's genitalia as an affirmation of kinship with the human condition. Christ's lifelong virginity, understood as potency under check, and the first offer of blood in the circumcision, both required acknowledgment of the genital organ. More than exercises in realism, these unabashed images underscore the crucial theological import of the Incarnation. This revised and greatly expanded edition not only adduces new visual evidence, but deepens the theological argument and engages the controversy aroused by the book's first publication.

by louiseartsuppli...Jun 23, 2011
A great depth of understanding about The Renaissance, Italy and the Church
I was a history major but this book is a totally fresh perspective on the renaissance in Italy(which then influences the new learning as it moves north).God and jesus in the Middle ages were prtrayed as distant and Judgmental.This book goes into great detail(lots of art)to show how the rebirth of learning led to a reinterpretation of Christ as more human-of having experiences similar to ours,human suffering,human desires that made a relationship with God on a more personal level.Steinberg is also a writer of great clarity and it is an easy read.
