After centuries of repression and censorship, the sexual component in thousands of revered icons of Christ is restored to visibility. Steinberg's evidence resides in the imagery of the overtly sexed Christ, in Infancy and again after death. Steinberg argues that the artists regarded the deliberate exposure of Christ's genitalia as ..."

"In a treatise on education, Rabindranath Tagore wrote, 'The object of education is to give man the unity of truth.' The contributors to this anthology have all been trained in the primary discipline of their inquiry, and have extended themselves beyond its traditional boundaries in a quest for the unity of truth.
