This comparative study examines the major iconophile writings of John of Damascus, Theodore the Studite and the Patriarch Nikephoros. It argues that, far from being reactionary in their thought, the iconophiles were in fact more radical in their theology than the iconoclasts. After an historical introduction, the text covers philosophical themes, including: Aristotelianism; icon and idol; patristic authority; written and unwritten tradition, modes of veneration, and biblical exegesis.
This study investigates the sources of Byzantine iconophile thought as exemplified in the writings of John of Damascus, Theodore the Studite and the Patriarch Nikephoros. It provides an extensive analysis of the major themes addressed by these apologists of Christian images.
