The Genesis of Early Christian Art : Syncretic juxtapostion in the Roman world

This study of the beginnings of Christian art looks at the period when Christianity co-existed alongside paganism, and identifies juxtapositions of paganism in Christian art.

Chapters discuss iconography and ritual space, architecture, and the re-use of monuments and other artworks.

Throughout Suzawa uses the theological concept of syncretism to analyse these juxtapositions.
