Striving to cover a broad geographical and chronological span, and
to bring new material to light, this title aims to provide an
overview of religious images and iconoclasm, starting with the
consequences of the Byzantine image controversy and ending with the
Eastern Orthodox churches of the nineteenth century. The author
argues that the image question played a large role in the divisions
within European Protestantism and was intricately connected with
the Eucharist controversy. He analyzes the positions of the major
Protestant reformers - Luther, Zwingli, Calvin and Karlstadt - on
the legitimacy of religious paintings and investigates iconoclasm
both as a form of religious and political protest and as a complex
set of mock-revolutionary rites and denigration rituals. The book
also contains research on relations between Protestant iconoclasm
and the extreme icon-worship of the Eastern Orthodox churches, and
provides a brief discussion of Eastern protestantizing sects,
especially in Russia.
