| "Few medieval images are as iconic, or as challenging, as the life-sized sculptural crucifixes that emerged in northern Europe in the decades around 1000. Striking at the fundamental mysteries of Christianity - the idea of a God made flesh, who died on the Cross and was resurrected after three days - these objects were made to attract attention and inspire veneration, existing in tension with medieval anxieties about idolatry and the cult of images. This book presents new research on the Boston Crucifix, the earliest medieval crucifix in North America and one of the greatest examples of its type, in dialogue with studies on the historical contexts, material properties, artistic qualities, and theological meanings of crucifixes from the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth centuries.
