175th Anniversary Lecture: Robin Jensen on the art and history of the Holy Cross

September 17, 2018

To commemorate the 175th anniversary of the College of the Holy Cross, this lecture explores early art, history and meanings of the namesake, Holy Cross. Robin M. Jensen, Patrick O'Brien Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame, considers the late emergence of the cross and crucifix in art, and illustrates how early representations were as symbols of victory and signs of salvation. Jensen, author of "The Cross: History, Art and Controversy" (Harvard University Press, 2017), teaches at the intersections of Christian theology, liturgical practice, and material and visual culture. Her talk is one of the Deitchman Family Lectures on Religion and Modernity.
