Material Culture in Christian life:  Slide Show

 

 

To accompany your reading for this week, I have compiled some images that can give you a sense of the ways in which Christianity has crafted a particular material culture that demonstrates the particularities of Christian concepts of "spirit" and "matter," and cultural production.

 

These images are not to be copied or distributed outside of class use.
