Biblical Archaeology Review 15:4, July/August 1989
Books in Brief
Early Christian Art and Architecture
Robert Milburn (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1988) 335 pp., 194 illustrations, $48.00
As readers of BAR know well, there are far too many superficial books on the art, archaeology and architecture of the Biblical periods. The problem is to find such books that have both a reliable and understandable text as well as a lavish and functional use of illustrations. Unfortunately, Early Christian Art and Architecture, one of the latest offerings covering the data of early Christianity—defined here as the period from the beginning of Christianity to the death of Justinian (565 A.D.)—fails to meet these requirements.
