By John Brainerd Macharg

Book Overview

""Visual Representations of the Trinity: A Historical Survey"" is a book written by John Brainerd MacHarg and originally published in 1917. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the historical depictions of the Christian doctrine of the Trinity in visual art, from the earliest Christian art to the 20th century. MacHarg examines how artists have attempted to visually represent the complex theological concept of the Trinity, which posits that God exists as three distinct persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in one divine being. The book includes numerous illustrations and photographs of Trinity depictions from different eras and regions, providing a rich visual context for the discussion. MacHarg also explores the theological debates and controversies surrounding the representation of the Trinity in art, as well as the influence of cultural and political factors on artistic depictions. Overall, ""Visual Representations of the Trinity"" offers a fascinating insight into the ways in which artists have grappled with one of the most complex and central ideas in Christian theology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
