Description
The author journeys through Rome, following biblical events and themes in works of art: from Genesis in the Sistine Chapel, through Incarnation in the Pantheon and Resurrection in Michaelangelo's Last Judgement. She touches on many themes in her journey, including violence and power (at the Colosseum), social injustice (at St. Mary Major) and motherhood (at the icon of Our Lady in Perpetual Succour).

Reviews"I felt I had re-engaged with some of the main ideas of Christian Theology in an inviting way and that Rome as a city was a place I'd like to explore again." --Janet Lees, Reform, October 2002.
