By Robert Eisler

Book Overview

""The Fish Meal In The Christian Catacombs Pictures And The Teachings Of Jesus On The Food From Heaven"" is a book written by Robert Eisler that explores the role of fish in early Christian art and the possible connections to the teachings of Jesus. The book focuses on the imagery of fish in the catacombs of Rome, where early Christians buried their dead, and suggests that these images may have been used to convey the message of Jesus as the ""bread of life"" and the provider of spiritual nourishment. Eisler also examines the biblical stories of Jesus feeding the multitudes with fish and bread, and the significance of these stories in early Christian theology. Overall, the book offers a unique perspective on the symbolism of fish in early Christian art and its potential connections to the teachings of Jesus.THIS 36 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Orpheus The Fisher, by Robert Eisler.
