"From Idols to Icons is a sweeping work that tackles diverse aspects of image worship, including theological issues, the perception of the senses, and the various meanings of viewing. The question, in Robin Jensen's view, is not really about whether images were acceptable or powerful but about whose images were to be tolerated. The result is an original and well-documented study that brings together the views of Christian and non-Christian authors, apologists, philosophers, and sophists as well."--Brouria Bitton-Ashkelony, Martin Buber Professor of Comparative Religion, Hebrew University of Jerusalem "This book is set to be a standard work in Christian art history, theological aesthetics, and the cultural history of late antiquity. A rarity in the field, Jensen's account is attentive to both the material culture that is early Christian art and the theological lenses through which it was and is understood. A masterful achievement." --Christopher Beeley, Jack and Barbara Bovender Professor of Theology, Duke University
