Author Description

Images of Salvation is an interactive CD-ROM providing one hundred and eighty images illustrating biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation, together with background material explaining the doctrinal and art historical context. Each section contains a selection of images from medieval stained glass, manuscript illumination and sculpture and includes summaries of the key points and relevant texts from the Bible and later commentators. Individual images are supplied with detailed commentary on important doctrinal and art historical elements. At all points in the CD-ROM it is possible to access an interactive reference section. This new third edition of Images of Salvation has greatly improved navigation and a new Resource Centre, including keyword searching of both the encyclopaedia, with the facility to create one's own glossary for lectures or projects, and the image gallery. Users can also navigate directly to the stored key texts and search the bibliography by keyword, finding their essential works even more easily than before. The architecture of the new version complements the style and navigation of The English Parish Church DVD (Christianity & Culture 2010). It does not rely on web browsers to work and will run with any operating system on Mac and PC with sufficient processing power. (Christianity & Culture 2011)
