Passersby on Interstate 75 north of Cincinnati can't help but notice this gigantic statue of the resurrected Christ, raising his arms to the heavens over the baptismal pool in front of the Solid Rock Church. The statue, officially titled "King of Kings," is the work of designer Brad Coriel and artist James Lynch, and is built of wood, fiberglass and styrofoam over a steel framework. According to the church web site, this is "reportedly ... the largest sculpture of Christ in America," has a height of 62 feet (other sources say 42 feet), and weighs approximately 16,000 pounds. Below are two inspirational views from behind the statue.
