'The early Christian saw God in everything. In God he "lived and moved and had his being." It followed quite naturally that, in his eyes, everything was symbolical of God. How the Christian attached religious and spiritual meaning to all that he observed is the story that this book seeks to tell; with many color plates.' --Intro.
