Compiled by the late Peter Murray and his wife, Linda (probably best known to Americans for their Penguin Dictionary of Art and Artists), this alphabetically arranged handbook follows the familiar format of the Oxford Companions to art, twentieth-century art, and the decorative arts. Aware that increasingly many people lack knowledge of the Bible, Christian doctrine, church history, and ritual, the Murrays provide understandable information. Generous use of cross-references leads newcomers from Christian art to related entries.
Chronological coverage runs from the earliest Christian art to the present. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant subjects are treated. "Dogmas, rites, and liturgical matters" are covered only as they relate to the visual arts. Entries are clearly written; small black-and-white illustrations and 16 full-page color illustrations support the text. A list of abbreviations used throughout precedes and a seven-page glossary of architectural terms follows the text. Concluding the work are a classified bibliography of books (sacred texts, atlases, iconographies, and historical eras) and sources for the illustrations used.
