The Reformation and the Visual Arts: The Protestant Image Question in Western and Eastern Europe (Christianity and Society in the Modern World): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Reformation and the Visual Arts: The Protestant Image Question in Western and Eastern Europe (Christianity and Society in the Modern World)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

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.
