Interpreting Visual Arts in Late Antiquity I The Great Courses

[EyeLean5280]

Is it because Christianity began its career in Rome as an oppositional belief, causing the fathers to feel the need to articulate every aspect of Christian thought, that they took the time to think through these justifications - whereas the pagans had simply fulfilled the decorative impulse without bothering to justify it in the context of the culture's anti-art bias?

Unlike the "lifetime warranties" purported by some, The Great Courses really does stand behind their work. I admit, I was skeptical at first. I eventually ordered a course that I absolutely could not listen to, because of the raspy voice of the professor. I was surprised by how willing the company was to exchange the course or refund my money. I chose the refund, and I was refunded purchase price and shipping. It was more than I expected. (I have purchased several courses from them to date.)
