Behold the Lamb
A Visual Witness of the Savior's Final Hours
Book • 2026
Behold the Lamb assembles contemporary Latter-day Saint artists' depictions of Jesus Christ's final twelve hours alongside artist reflections, artistic commentary, and doctrinal or historical insights to deepen devotional reflection.
Co-authored by John Hilton III, Anthony Sweat, and J. Kirk Richards, the book aims to fill gaps in Latter-day Saint visual culture by highlighting scenes beyond the commonly displayed Gethsemane and Resurrection images.
It includes new commissions and existing works arranged chronologically to guide viewers through arrest, trial, crucifixion, burial, and resurrection moments.
The volume emphasizes how sacred art can shape theological understanding and spiritual feeling, encouraging readers to 'view Christ's death' as scripture invites.
Published by BYU's Religious Studies Center, it is intended as both an art book and a devotional resource.
