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.

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.
