Title: Messiah – An Illustrated Biography of Jesus Christ
Author: DUQUESNE JACQUES

Few stories have captivated the worlds imagination as much as the biblical account of the life of Jesus Christ. From the Nativity to the Sermon on the Mount, the Last Supper to the Resurrection, artists continually revisit these New Testament tales, exploring their religious, symbolic, and dramatic values. This gorgeous book, replete with images from throughout the history of art, retraces the life of the Nazarene as it has been handed down to us, elaborating the major episodes of his life through excerpts from the Gospels, pictorial representations, and explanations of significant themes and symbols. It contributes to \”La Croix\” and other regional dailies. He is the author of numerous essays and books on the themes of Jesus and Mary, including \”Jesus: An Unconventional Biography\” and \”Salve Regina: The Story of Mary\” (Flammarion, 2006).
