Birds, Beasts and Fishes as Christian Symbols is a comprehensive guide to the use of animals in Christian art and literature. Written by Katherine Kennedy, the book explores the rich symbolism of birds, beasts, and fishes in the Bible and in Christian tradition. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different category of animal. The first section, Birds as Christian Symbols, examines the significance of birds such as the dove, eagle, and pelican in Christian art and literature. The second section, Beasts as Christian Symbols, explores the symbolism of animals such as the lion, lamb, and serpent. The third section, Fishes as Christian Symbols, delves into the meaning of fish in Christian art and literature, including the famous ichthys symbol. Throughout the book, Kennedy provides detailed explanations of the symbolism of each animal and how it has been used in Christian tradition. The book is beautifully illustrated with full-color images of Christian art from throughout history, making it a valuable resource for art historians, theologians, and anyone interested in the intersection of religion and art.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Christian Symbols, by Katherine Kennedy.
