Biblical subject matters, narratives, and protagonists still form an inexhaustible repertoire for art through the ages. In journalism, such Christian art based on biblical motifs is used, even beyond the reporting on religion. This article shows how images and their meanings are being transformed both socio-culturally and historically.
