In Search of the True Face of Jesus

A short book, but capable of responding directly and completely to some current issues. Is what we see represented in many works of art a face that resembles that of Jesus of Nazareth, or is it only the fruit of imagination? Is it possible to trace the true face of Jesus? Can religious art still be useful today or is it only the fruit of popular devotion? In addition to answering these and other questions, the book contains a very thorough and detailed study of icons, Byzantine coins and the Shroud of Turin. A separate section is dedicated to the icon of Christ Pantocrator of Mount Sinai, one of the oldest images of the face of Jesus.
