This exploration progresses across several chapters, beginning with the fundamentals of religious art and iconography. It then examines the role of religious sculpture in ancient Greece and Hinduism, highlighting their function as physical manifestations of deities.
The book emphasizes that religious art is not merely a representation of faith but an active participant in constructing and maintaining religious belief. By adopting a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, this book offers a fresh perspective on the dynamic relationship between art, religion, and culture.
