Religious art: fig leaf or full frontal?

c. 2011 Salt Lake Tribune

SALT LAKE CITY (RNS) The Rev. France Davis doesn't want any nude
Adam-and-Eve figures at his Calvary Baptist Church -- even if they were
painted by the famed Michelangelo himself.

Davis is unequivocal in his view that there is nothing inspiring or
redeeming about naked figures in religious art.
