The biblical prohibition of images sets Judaism apart, together
with Islam, from all other religious systems. This book attempts to
explain the reasons for the prohibition - as well as its limits -
and then shows how influential it has been in determining aspects
of Jewish thinking in relation to such key concepts as holiness,
symbolism, mediation between man and God, aesthetics and the role
of memory in religion. Why is music the one art to which Judaism is
hospitable? Is Judaism a religion of the ear rather than the eye?
What is the real issue at stake in the age-old debate between
Jerusalem and Athens? How do these issues relate to the
iconoclastic movements in Byzantine Christianity and the
Reformation? Lionel Kochan makes clear that to the prohibition of
the graven image there is more than meets the eye.
