The Illustrated Jesus Through the Centuries
Picked this up in a San Francisco resale shop. There were three hardcover copies, all with different prices, making this purchase a satisfying one.
Pelikan has impressed me with his scholarship in the past. This, however, is more an impressionistic piece about different facets of the Jesus figure as they reflect back on the historical periods which focused on them. It is as much about Pelikan's sense of Western European history and culture as it is about Jesus-as-archetype.
I suppose such a study might be done scientifically by the analysis of myriads of texts and artistic productions, but there was no such effort made here. Pelikan's impressions are not ill-informed, there are occasional bursts of illuminating insight, but they wouldn't stand up well to criticism or equally educated counterimpressions.
