medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Dear Sandra, I'm not quite sure of exactly what you mean by your subject, the "theology of icons." However, I'm currently mulling over the purchase of a rather expensive, but well reviewed, book by Celia Chazelle, _The Crucified God in the Carolingian Era: Theology and Art of Christ's Passion_ (Cambridge 2001). Is this the sort of text you had in mind? Or a general study of the why and the wherefore of the existence of icons? The interpretation of same? Their acceptability or lack thereof throughout the ages? Are you using "icon" in the general sense of "image," or in the specific (Byzantine, Greek, Russian)? MG -- Sandra <[log in to unmask]> wrote: medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Hi Folks, I am looking for half a dozen books on the theology of icons at academic level and in english. I would be appreciative if some of you could give me some recommendations. Thanks, Sandra Oliver-Jobling ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - NetZero HiSpeed!
