<br/><br/>A disciplinary blind spot and its origins -- Various visuals: visual culture, visual practice, visual piety -- Greco-Roman visual practices -- Jewish visual practices -- The epistle to the Romans -- Sense perception and transformative judgement: 2 Corinthians 2:14-7:4 -- 'Beholding in a mirror we are being metamorphosed' (2 Corinthians 3:18) -- Metamorphosis of the servant's beholder: Isaiah 52-3 and 2 Corinthians 4:7-18 -- From Jew to gentile in Paul's visual piety. 
<br/><br/> This text is at the interface between visual studies and biblical studies, and is the only monograph to date on St Paul's visual piety. Heath argues that biblical scholarship has downplayed this-worldly visuality in Christian culture, and that the exegesis of Paul is both a partial cause and a symptom of this 'disciplinary blind-spot'.
