Presented by the accomplished Scholar/Artist, Cynthia Maus, this compilation of multi-valent material is ecumenical, and well-thought out in anticipating heuristic uses. Teachers can also appreciate the interpretations of various bible passages, famous art works, poetry, and musical selections that relate to various Biblical narratives. Maus also gives a brief overview of the main artist, their settings, and explains the import of the selection. With each selection, Mauss guides us to what the author/artist was trying to get across to the "reader."

This compilation benefits from the fact that Maus was already seasoned in the field of Christian education. She wrote the handbook for "Youth and the Church" (1923) and "Christ and the Fine Arts" (1959). ( )
