In AD 726, the Byzantine emperor ordered the destruction of all icons, or religious images, throughout the empire, and icons were subject to an imperial ban that was to last, with a brief remission, until AD 843. A defender of icons, St John of Damascus wrote three treatises against "those who attack the holy images." He differentiates between the veneration of icons, which is a matter of expressing honor, and idolatry, which is offering worship to something other than God.

In 'St John Damascene on Holy Images', Saint John of Damascus delves into the theological and philosophical arguments surrounding the use of images in worship. Drawing on both classical philosophy and Christian theology, the book explores the concept of icons as windows to the divine realm. Written in a clear and systematic style, the work reflects the author's deep understanding of the subject matter and his ability to reconcile seemingly conflicting viewpoints. Saint John's defense of the veneration of holy images is both thought-provoking and insightful, making it a significant contribution to the theological debates of his time. This work not only sheds light on the theological controversies of the iconoclast era but also offers a compelling argument for the use of religious imagery in worship. Written by a revered theologian and scholar, 'St John Damascene on Holy Images' is a must-read for anyone interested in Christian theology and the history of iconography.

St. John of Damascus (John Damascene) is the author of the "Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" ("On the Orthodox Faith"), included in this volume. Standing among the greatest of the early Church fathers of the East during the patristic age, he produced his work The Fount of Knowledge as a summary of Christian philosophy and theology. Encompassing "The Philosophical Chapters," "On Heresies," and the justly-famous "Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith," it is one of the most important works of the Greek patristic age-a veritable Summa of the doctrine of the Eastern fathers. This Ex Fontibus edition reprints the excellent twentieth-century translation by patristics scholars who contributed to a series published by Catholic University of America press. Published by Ex Fontibus Company.

How did Islam come to be considered a Christian heresy? In this book, Peter Schadler outlines the intellectual background of the Christian Near East that led John, a Christian serving in the court of the caliph in Damascus, to categorize Islam as a heresy. Schadler shows that different uses of the term heresy persisted among Christians, and then demonstrates that John’s assessment of the beliefs and practices of Muslims has been mistakenly dismissed on assumptions he was highly biased. The practices and beliefs John ascribes to Islam have analogues in the Islamic tradition, proving that John may well represent an accurate picture of Islam as he knew it in the seventh and eighth centuries in Syria and Palestine.
