The late Peter Murray FSA and Linda Murray FSA were well-known art
historians with over 30 years' teaching experience, and several
books written in collaboration, as well as those written
independently. Peter Murray was Professor of the History of Art at
Birkbeck College, in the University of London, from 1967 until his
retirement in 1980. Linda Murray taught art history in the
University of London Extra-Mural Department from 1949 to 1979. Tom
Devonshire Jones
studied Classics and Theology at Oxford, always with an eye on the
art of Antiquity and Christianity. Since ordination in the Church
of England in 1960 the interactions of art and religion have been
a
feature of his parish and campus ministries in England and the
United States. He is the founder of Art and Christianity Enquiry
(acetrust.org), and he is married and lives in London.

diligence and innovations in revisiting both this expansive topic
and revising a classic.'

the study of Christian art and architecture in an easy-to-read
style and handy format.'

book that belongs on most everyone's shelf.'
