Visual Piety: A History and Theory of Popular Religious Images

Editorial Reviews
Washington Post Book World
"Morgan has had the good idea of studying the (usually kitschy) popular images of Jesus that once graced many lower- and middle-class homes. . . . Morgan discusses the social and religious meaning of these pictures . . . while also providing a general history and analysis of popular religious iconography." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

The Art Book Review
"Fascinating investigation into the history and meaning of popular religious images from the late Middle Ages to the present day. Explores the practices, attitudes, and ideas that are articulated through religious iconography." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
