Dear ARLIS-L,

I am wondering if there's an index similar to The Oxford guide to classical mythology in the arts, 1300-1990s, for Biblical stories.

We have plenty of materials on iconography, but our students get assignments in which they're supposed to choose a passage or story from the Bible and then find it depicted in art (usually but not limited to painting).  We have a copy of Iconographic index to Old Testament subjects represented in photographs and slides of paintings in the visual collections, Fine Arts Library, Harvard University, but not the Iconographic index to New Testament subjects.

I have gone through Fine Arts : A Bibliographic Guide, American Reference Books Annual, The Humanities : A Selective Guide to Information Sources and Jones' Art Research: Methods and Resources and haven't come across anything else that sounds exactly right.  Any suggestions?  Web sites??  Thanks.

Sara
