      Seit Beginn der Fotografie haben sich einzelne Künstler immer wieder der christlichenm Ikonographie bedient, und manche ihrer Bilder wurden zum Meilensteinen in der Geschichte des Genres. Die Bandbreite der Darstellungen reicht von Selbstporträts der Fotografen in Gestalt Jesu Christi über Gruppenbilder, die Szenen aus der Passionsgeschichte zeigen, bis hin zur Verwendung subtiler Symbole und Hinweise auf Christus, die seine Gegenwart andeuten sollen.Zu den in diesem Bildband vorgestellten Werken gehören rein künstlerische Arbeiten von Fotografen und Fotografinnen wie Julia Margaret Cameron , Anne Brightman, Andres Serrano und Rauf Mamedow, die religiös motivierten Aufnahmen von von Fred Holland Day und Oscar Gustav Rejlander, aber auch zeigenössische Bilder eines John Dugdale, in denen das Weltliche und die sakrale Welt nebeneinander gestellt werden.
