Christian Iconography
MISSION
The purpose of this site is to support the study of Christian iconography at the beginner's level. Please note that this mission is of an academic, not religious, nature.  The web space belongs to Georgia Regents University, and there is no connection whatever with any religious organization.
METHOD
The site is by no means finished.  Construction will continue through the next several years.  However, with thousands of images and dozens of texts, it may be able to serve your purposes adequately.  If not, please do come back again at a later time.
