Images of Salvation is an interactive resource providing one hundred and eighty images illustrating biblical themes from Genesis to Revelation, together with background material explaining the doctrinal and art historical context. Each section contains a selection of images from medieval stained glass, manuscript illumination and sculpture and includes summaries of the key points and relevant texts from the Bible and later commentators. Individual images are supplied with detailed commentary on important doctrinal and art historical elements. At all points in the resource it is possible to access an interactive reference section. This edition of Images of Salvation has greatly improved navigation and a new Resource Centre, including keyword searching of both the encyclopedia, with the facility to create one's own glossary for lectures or projects, and the image gallery. Users can also navigate directly to the stored key texts and search the bibliography by keyword, finding their essential works even more easily than before. The architecture of the new version complements the style and navigation of The English Parish Church resource (Christianity & Culture 2015).

"The New Testament does not develop a systematic doctrine of salvation," writes Brenda Colijn. "Instead, it presents us with a variety of pictures taken from different perspectives." Students of the New Testament and of theology will both find their vision broadened and their understanding deepened by this rich, informative study. As the author seeks to understand their implications for people of faith, she uncovers how New Testament images provide the building blocks of the master story of redemption.
