description:

This History Book Club exclusive edition features Jaroslav Pelikan's brilliant classics Jesus Through the Centuries and Mary Through the Centuries - masterful looks at the two iconic figures from their earliest representations through to their depictions in today's world - along with a new introduction by the author.

One of the most highly regarded works of intellectual history of the past two decades, Jesus Through the Centuries is an original and compelling study of the impact of Jesus on cultural, political, social, and economic history. Pelikan reveals how the image of Jesus created by each successive epoch - from rabbi in the first century to liberator in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries - is a key to understanding the temper and values of that age.

In Mary Through the Centuries, first published in 1996, Pelikan examines all of Christian history and culture to create the most complete portrait of the Virgin Mary ever written. Pelikan assesses the ways Protestants, Catholics, Jews, and Muslims, artists, musicians, and writers, and men and women everywhere have depicted, venerated, and been inspired by Mary, a symbol of hope and solace for all generations.
