N2  - "Christian symbolism condenses narratives, ideas, and themes into concise visuals, thereby communicating and underlining the richness of Scripture and its message. With more than 640 images, A Sign unto You provides a wealth of Christian symbolism in one place, one artistic style, and one format. It briefly explains those symbols, offers a bit of historical use, and provides practical advice on their use. This guidebook of symbolism is a visual source of inspiration for artisans who create banners and other visuals and a teaching tool for those who wish to know more about the vast history of symbols used in the Christian church"--
