Christie Kerr of the School of Psychology, University of Glasgow, and Rob Jenkins of the Department of Psychology at the University of New York worked together to study the usefulness of capturing images reflected in the pupils of one's eye. They found that "the incredible level of detail in modern digital photographs were able to pick out the tiny reflections of faces hidden in the eyes of the subject."

“The pupil of the eye is like a black mirror,” said Jenkins. He and Kerr "recovered the images of bystanders that were as small as 27 pixels across … Yet when presented to panelists in a face-matching task, observers were able to match the diminutive faces 71 percent of the time. When the faces were familiar ones, people recognized identity correctly 84 percent of the time."

The implications for the usefulness of recovering such images are varied, including criminal investigation. "The researchers say that in crimes in which the victims are photographed, such as hostage taking or child sex abuse, reflections in the eyes of the photographic subject could help to identify perpetrators."

The glory of the Law was of one kind, but the glory of grace as revealed through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ is of another kind all together.  "For the sake of illustration," says one commentator, "think of glory as light. There is a certain glory of the moon and stars that shine at night. But when the sun comes up in the morning, these stellar luminaries pale. Why? Because the glory of the sun outshines that of the moon and stars."
