Heal''s interdisciplinary study of the visual culture of Lutheranism is undoubtedly one of the most significant books on Lutheranism to have appeared in 2017.
Maria Crciun, Catholic Historical Review Carefully researched, cleverly crafted, and clearly written, the book is a magnificent read to be enjoyed by both scholarly and broader readerships.
Journal of Religious & Theological Information a magnificent book
History Today a wonderful book, marked by intellectual breadth and erudition, analytical finesse and careful historical scholarship
Mark Mattes, Lutheran Quarterly [A]rt historians will be drawn to this volume, but, surprisingly, anyone interested in the history of Lutheran orthodoxy will also find this volume to be helpful, since it traces visual imaging whether through print, altars, or paintings when Orthodoxy was at its height... This book is filled both with color plates and black and white photos, enhancing its readability by illustrating artistic achievements among post-Reformation and Baroque craftsmen in Saxony and Brandenburg. An encounter with this book teaches that one really does not understand theology apart from the culture within which it interacts.
Thomas Dacosta Kaufmann, The Burlington Magazine. Bridget Heal's book is a major contribution to the study of Protestantism and art. In addition to using recent literature, Heal has unearthed many apologetic, devotional, homiletic and theological texts, as well as imagery, to set ideas, images and objects in their historical and geographical contexts over a period of more than two hundred years.
CHOICE Heal's book is inviting to read and adequately illustrated (many images will be unfamiliar; some images are in color). Heal has brought together masses of difficult material, and her volume provides much food for thought for scholars of various disciplines interested in the period or in issues of ideologically sensitive public art...Highly recommended.
Joachim Whaley, The Art Newspaper Bridget Heal has written a fascinating book.

It is one of the most important contributions to the study of the Reformation tradition for many years.
