THE ROLE OF IMAGES AND THE VENERATION OF ICONS ...

The aim of this book is to demonstrate the presence in these very ancient Eastern Churches of
religious images of all kinds (icons  paintings  illuminations)  including the representation
of Christ  together with the veneration (not the adoration) of icons images. Presented here are
not only the iconographic but also the liturgical and especially the Christological dimensions
of the icon on the basis of texts used by these four traditions down the centuries. In contrast
to the Byzantine Orthodox world  which after a controversy on this subject officially
established the veneration of icons from the time of the Second Council of Nicaea (787) and in
843  these Churches did not experience Iconoclasm.
