Studies on Christian Art History CP near 90%
Studies on Christian Art History looks like it is near 90% (with some good will)
https://www.logos.com/product/41122/studies-on-christian-art-history
Just needs some more bids to get it above the surface?
I really would like to learn more about the symbolism in the early Christian art.
I assume there are not many links to these books from other resources, but otherwise this could also be a good additional reference.

There are very, very few references to them from the resources in my library. Does anyone know if these were notable works on the subject? That would make them much more attractive.

Same in my library.

I don't know, but Edward Cutts, the author of one of them (History of Early Christian Art) is listed in Biographical Entries from New 20th-Century Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (which I bought in 2009, no longer sold by Faithlife), and that title of his is included in the bio of him. So he must have been important and that work of his important enough to get mentioned.

Thanks, that's very helpful. I'm going to bid (and hope my spouse doesn't notice when it shows up on the credit card bill [;)]).

).Also though his bio on the product description page for this collection is rather brief and inconclusive, Richard St. John Tyrwhitt, author of Christian Art and Symbolism, contributed many of the entries (108 articles in all) in A Dictionary of Christian Antiquities, and A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines, both of which are referenced quite a lot in my library, so he was recognized by the editors of two substantially important reference works as being someone worthy of contributing his knowledge. That's a good endorsement. He also has a Wikipedia entry.
The History of Our Lord as Exemplified in Works of Art is only mentioned 9 times in my library, but it has 189,000 hits on Google Books (that's compared to Tyrwhitt's Christian Art and Symbolism which has only 11,300 hits, so that's pretty impressive!); so it's probably just that Logos doesn't have many of the works that reference this book, but they're sure out there! Books like The Bible, Gender, and Reception History; Women Medievalists and the Academy; Religion and Irreligion in Victorian Society; An Introduction to Iconography: Symbols, Allusions and Meaning in the Visual Arts; and many more.
Studies in East Christian and Roman Art is not mentioned at all in my Logos library, but it has 19,000 hits on Google Books. And the bios of the authors on the product description page say that Charles Rufus Morey (1877–1955) was a prominent American art historian (that's a good endorsement of him). He taught at Princeton for 39 years and was a specialist in early Christian art. His obituary in Princeton Alumni Weekly notes that "The Vatican Library recognized his international reputation as an authority on Early Christian art and invited him to be the editor in charge of publishing a series of scholarly catalogues of objects in the Museo Sacro." His co-author Walter Dennison was, among other things, a professor of Latin and Roman Archaeology at Oberlin College (found out from his obituary in The Classical Journal; for someone to have their obit written up in an academic journal they must be an important contributor to the field).
So, hope that helps some more.

Thanks - that helps a lot more. I may not even have to hide the bill!

I think reading the Bible is a basic thing, but it came into my mind that our world is becoming more media oriented and thus understanding the ancient Christian art might be very useful for the current and future proactive evangelical ministry

Yup, I've memorized all the verses where Jesus commanded us to go out and read our Bibles.[;)] What we obviously need to Logos to meet the new media demands in the Pauper's Bible aka Biblia pauperum
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

I'd love to see the Biblia pauperum in Logos. Somebody made an interactive Internet version of it: http://amasis.com/biblia/ . I have a print reproduction.

Great site - I'd not seen it.
