Works by acclaimed artists such as Andres Serrano, Catherine Opie, Wang Qingsong, Joan Fontcuberta, Vanessa Beecroft, David LaChapelle, Renee Cox, and Bettina Rheims offer fresh - and sometimes provocative - depictions of Christ, embodied by a woman, for example, or a person of color, addressing issues from race to sexuality to gender.
