This book is a collection of three papers. The first chapter deals with the fate of the sinners in the Last Judgment on Russian icons and in Orthodox wall painting. In the second chapter, the role of the inscription bands encircling the illustration of Ps 148, 1(-2) is explored. Many of these bands begin with the final verse of the psalter, Ps 150, 6. The role of this verse in the illustration of the laud psalms is investigated in the last chapter in which the miniature of Ps 150 in the Carolingian Stuttgart psalter is scrutinized. It emerges that all three chapters share a common thread: Both the Last Judgment composition and the laud psalms illustration serve as tools to convey the very essence of the Christian faith: That Jesus Christ is the Lord.

Günter P. Schiemenz earned his Ph. D. in Christian Archaeology 60 years ago at the University of Göttingen, Germany. Since 1965, he has published ca. 50 papers dealing with Early to Post-Byzantine painting, since 1990 devoted to the laud psalms (Ps 148-150) as a topic of wall painting in churches of all Orthodox countries except Russia.
