Studies of the Portrait of Christ e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. My design in this book is to study, not the portraits, but the Portrait, of Christ. I am not concerned with the products of Italian art. I am not occupied with a criticism of the various views which have been taken of Christ in literature. I am not even engaged in a comparison of the four aspects of Christ in the New Testament The Portrait which I study is one hung up in the heart - the combined effect of all the different aspects which the Gospels reveal.<br><br>The work is not critical, but introspective. I do not seek to paint a Christ; I stand before the Christ already painted, and try to analyse its Features. Necessarily, I limit myself to that which is human.
