This book is a study of the theology of the Trinity as expressed in
the literature and art of the late Anglo-Saxon period. It examines
the meaning of the representations of the Trinity in tenth- and
eleventh-century English manuscripts and their relationship to
Anglo-Saxon theology, and to earlier debates about the legitimacy
of representations of the divine. The book's unifying theme is that
of the image: the image of the Trinity in the human soul; Christ,
the perfect image and visible form of the invisible God; redemption
as the restoration of the imperfect human image to its original
likeness through contemplation of its divine archetype; prayer as
an anticipation of the contemplation of heaven, and art as a form
of contemplation. The book, which contains a selection of black and
white illustrations, will be of interest to art historians,
theologians and literary scholars alike.
