	Iconoclasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leo is said to have described image veneration as "a craft of idolatry." He apparently forbade the worship of religious images in a 730 edict, which did not apply to other forms of art, including the image of the emperor, or even religious symbols such as the cross.
		While the arguments of the iconodules were largely based on biblical commands and written Church tradition, John based his arguments on the Neo-Platonist view of the relation between an image and that which it depicts.
		Iconodules further argued that decisions such as whether icons ought to be venerated were properly made by the church assembled in council, not imposed on the church by an emperor.

	The Iconoclastic controversy Iconoclasts and iconodules agreed on one fundamental point (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Iconoclasts and iconodules agreed on one fundamental point: a Christian people could not prosper unless it assumed the right attitude toward the holy images, or icons.
		The ablest defender of the iconodule position was, however, the 8th-century theologian St. John of Damascus.
		Intransigent iconodules looked for their leaders among the monks of Studion, the monastery founded by Studius, and they found one in the person of the monastery's abbot, St. Theodore Studites (759-826).

	"Iconomy": A Rule Theory for Images in the Church
		Iconodules defend images on the grounds that images call attention to and/or sacramentally mediate their prototypes.
		If iconodules worry that this phrasing is unnecessarily pessimistic, they may understand the issue of distraction more constructively by considering how attention to it can focus iconology back on an image's proper context, rather than on the propriety of its very existence.
		Frederick Hulme, a historian and iconodule, finds an exclusivist dynamic in early Christian uses of images which is reminiscent of the gnostics: "the early Christians employed symbols that, though full of significance to themselves, conveyed no meaning to the heathen around them" (Hulme, p.

		The Iconodule position was upheld by the seventh and last Ecumenical Council (787), which met, as the first had done, at Nicaea.
		We shall consider first the charge of idolatry, which the Iconoclasts brought against the Iconodules; then the positive value of icons as a means of instruction; and finally their doctrinal importance.
		The Iconodules held that it is, because icons safeguard a full and proper doctrine of the Incarnation.

		Realpolitik dictated that an iconodule revolt that was backed by Rome and had its own pretender to the throne would receive no help from Bulgaria.
		However, Nicephorus was unwilling to entirely desist from his enterprise, so he summoned a monk who had spent some time in Cherson to investigate whether there was much of a possibility of anyone in that northern outpost wishing to receive some holy images.
		The simmering resentments against the iconoclasts that had been growing over the last few years were massively amplified by the news of the alliance between Michael and the infidel.

		Thomas the Slavonian, Michael's former comrade in arms, gave himself out to be the unfortunate Constantine VI and secured his coronation at the hands of the Patriarch of Antioch; this was accomplished with the willing permission of the Muslim caliph under whose jurisdiction Antioch lay.
		Thomas thereupon marched to Constantinople at the head of a motley force of Caucasian peoples whose sole bonds were to be found in their devotion to iconodule doctrine and their hatred of Michael's Iconoclasm.
		Assisted by Omortag and relying upon the defenses of Constantinople, Michael defeated his enemy, but the episode suggests the tensions beneath the surface of Byzantine society: the social malaise, the ethnic hostility, and the persisting discord created by Iconoclasm.

	Theology of Icons: A Protestant perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Patriarch Nicephorus, the iconodule, was deposed at the council in 815 which also reversed the decrees of the council of 787, reinforcing once again the decrees of Hieria (754), although in a moderate and modified way.
		It was the cult of icons with its veneration, rather than mere existence of pictures which was attacked and provoked a moderate persecution against the monks.
		It seems plausible to suggest, then, that the victory of Orthodoxy at this particular historical period could have been the matter of the imperial politics and personal factors rather than purely the victory of the sound doctrine.

		The degree to which the authorship of the work can be attributed to Theophanes, whose career as abbot of the monastery of Agros is known from other sources, or to George Synkellos, his predecessor as a chronicler, is discussed at length (li-lxii passim, lxxxv).
		The work appears to have been published posthumously, in 842 or after (Theophanes died in 818, an exile on account of his iconodule beliefs), in an incomplete or at least unrevised state, but to have then achieved immediate wide circulation, copies perhaps being produced at his own monastery (lxii-lxiii, xcviii).
		Theophanes's identifiable sources, the most complex issue in the study of his work, are laid out systematically but with brevity in twenty pages (lxxiv-xcv).
