With unprecedented scope and scale, Professor Mendillo explores how cave art, illuminated manuscripts, sculptures, paintings and architecture reflected some of the great religious and secular battles taking place over the course of centuries. Enter a world of biblical proportions, where constellations of ancient heroes and pagans were thoroughly recast as Christian saints and the Twelve Apostles. This nontechnical narrative brings vitality and accessibility to some of the most enduring subjects in human history, offering a lively new exploration of the visual connections between celestial phenomena and artistic expression. ?Ever wonder how religion and art became forces of imagination on our night skies? Or how the night skies became forces of imagination on our religion and art? In this brilliant study of constellations and culture, Michael Mendillo, professor of astronomy at Boston University, reveals that the canopy of stars has been an ideologically contested space from the beginning, ensuring that the next time you look up, the sky will look completely different to you.?- Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director, Hayden Planetarium, American Museum of Natural History "Saints and Sinners impressionistically reveals the connections of art, astronomy, and religion in Western culture to illuminate the age-old quest for celestial-terrestrial connections.? - Roberta J.M. Olson, author of Giotto?s Portrait of Halley?s Comet and Cosmos: The Art and Science of the Universe ?Professor Mendillo?s book does a priceless service, opening the doors of our minds to images that will stir us, because the heavens are part of us, and we all long to know how and why.? - Rev. David R. Thom, MIT Chaplain and Convener of the Cambridge Faculty Roundtable on Science, Art & Religion "Over a lifetime devoted to astronomical research and teaching, Michael Mendillo has indulged a parallel passion for artistic representations of the heavenly bodies. In this sumptuous volume, he explores the projection of our changing belief systems onto the constant stars.? - Dava Sobel, author of Longitude, Galileo?s Daughter and The Glass Universe. 410 0$aPopular Astronomy,$x2626-8779 606 $aPhysics$xHistory 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aChristianity and culture 606 $aReligions 606 $aArt$xHistory 606 $aHistory of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aChristian Cultural Studies 606 $aComparative Religion 606 $aArt History 615 0$aPhysics$xHistory. 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aChristianity and culture. 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aArt$xHistory. 615 14$aHistory of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aChristian Cultural Studies. 615 24$aComparative Religion. 615 24$aArt History. 676 $a520 676 $a520 700 $aMendillo$b M$g(Michael),$01268127 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910558491903321 996 $aSaints and sinners in the sky$92982783 997 $aUNINA
