From Icons to Idols: Documents on the Image Debate in Reformation England
This collection of documents explores the complex and often contentious debate over images in churches during the English Reformation. Spanning from the early 16th century to the post-Reformation period, these primary sources shed light on the theological and practical issues surrounding iconoclasm.
Featuring a range of texts, including sermons, treatises, and woodcut illustrations, this book provides a unique insight into the intellectual and cultural landscape of Reformation England. By examining the arguments for and against image worship, From Icons to Idols offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant debates of the Protestant era.
