"This excitingly illustrated book will open for many a new approach to the study of religion. Within the covers of a single volume it provides a systematic approach to the types and the meaning of the visual images used in a wide range of the religious traditions of humankind. The work is not a popular art book, nor is it a work only for those specialists who deal with the iconography of one religion or with one period or area of development of religious images. In bringing together a variety of religious iconographies in a short compass, however, it seeks to be comprehensive. The underlying concern of the author is to lead the reader increasingly to understand and, if possible, to empathize with hitherto unfamiliar ways of religious thought and worship through their expression in visual images. The study of iconography can help us imaginatively to switch to other religious worlds. The book will be an aid to readers in presenting the main lines of the subject clearly, enabling them to make more effective use of the many fine studies now available on religious art and symbolism. The authors own involvement in the subject is also shaped by his enjoyment of the visual arts and by his ability to find a way of understanding the religions of the world through the visual approach. This book conveys well Professor Moores own interest and enthusiasm. The illustrations are an integral part of the book. The overall emphasis of the book is on understanding. The very richness and diversity of the material precludes any single theory of interpretation as the explanation which will unlock all doors. While interpretation is to some degree unavoidable, the essence of this works approach is to be descriptive, leading to a deeper appreciation of those traditions of religious iconography already partly familiar and a sympathetic exposure to a range of less familiar traditions."--Publisher's description.
