Know about the book -

Face to Face is written by Robin Margaret Jensen and published by Fortress Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 1451417519 (ISBN 10) and 9781451417517 (ISBN 13).

Examining how God and eventually Christ are portrayed in early Christian art, Jensen explores questions of the relationship between art and theology, conflicts over idolatry and iconography, and how the Christological controversies affected the portrayals of Christ. Since much of this art comes from ancient Rome, she places her analysis in the context of the history of Roman portraiture. One hundred photographs enhance the discussion.
