Idol Anxiety is an interdisciplinary collection of essays which brings
together diverse perspectives from scholars in religious studies, art
history, philosophy, and musicology to show that idolatry is a concept
that can be helpful in articulating the ways in which human beings
interact with and conceive of their surroundings.
