| | Iconoclasm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Iconoclasm may be carried out by people of a different religion, but is often the result of sectarian disputes between factions of the same religion. | | | Iconoclasm is the destruction of religious icons and other symbols or monuments, usually for religious or political motives. | | | A recent example of this is the 2001 destruction of frescoes and the monumental statues of the Buddha at Bamiyan by a radical sect and nationalist group, the Taliban. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Iconoclasm |
| | Iconoclasm (Eikonoklasmos, "Image-breaking") is the name of the heresy that in the eighth and ninth centuries disturbed the peace of the Eastern Church, caused the last of the many breaches with Rome that prepared the way for the schism of Photius, and was echoed on a smaller scale in the Frankish kingdom in the West. | | | In the fifth session Tarasius explained that Iconoclasm came from Jews, Saracens, and heretics; some Iconoclast misquotations were exposed, their books burnt, and an icon set up in the hall in the midst of the fathers. | | | The new pope sent a priest, George, with letters against Iconoclasm to Constantinople. |

| | Review: Puritan Iconoclasm in the English Civil War |
| | This iconoclasm was obviously distinct from that of the Reformation 'in that its targets were within the Protestant church, a church which was already supposed to have been reformed of such things.'(p. | | | Spraggon's narrative of the development of Puritan iconoclasm broadly confirms the now conventional historiographical position that there was widespread consensus in the Stuart church until the Laudian emphasis on the 'beauty of holiness' and devotional ceremony rapidly alienated the godly. | | | The most enthusiastically godly individual in Spraggon's book, alongside Robert Harley, is William Dowsing, the Parliamentary commander who was given by the Earl of Manchester the brief of enforcing the August 1643 ordinance against images in the Eastern counties. |

| | Iconoclasm |
| | Much blood was shed on both sides of the Iconoclasm debate throughout the 8th century until the death of Constantine V, Leo's son, whose widow Irene took power and held a church Council at Nicea in 787 which reaffirmed the official dogmas of the "Church" condemning as heresy the Iconoclastic positions. | | | In the Eastern Roman Empire the veneration of the holy icons had become part of the daily religious rituals and the emperor recognized that it was not much different than outright paganism. | | | The movement would have its own calling card that would be left at the scene that would contain a scripture forbidding the use of religious images in worship. |

| | 6. The details about "Hindu iconoclasm" |
| | This is in radical contrast with Islamic iconoclasm, which was meant to disrupt Hindu worship and symbolize or announce its definitive and complete annihilation. | | | Goel’s elaborately argued thesis, tellingly left unmentioned here by Eaton, is precisely that Islamic iconoclasm in India follows a pattern set in the preceding centuries in West Asia and accepted as normative in Islamic doctrine. | | | On the contrary, when Islamic iconoclasts cared to justify their acts in writing, it was invariably with reference to the Islamic doctrine and the Prophet’s precedents of idol-breaking and of the war of extermination against idolatry. |

| | (An iconoclasm shared by us Quakers, who, back in the days of George Fox, used to be much more fierce that most of us Quakers are today, and truly scary to the rest of the world as they burst into Church services and angrily denounced the blasphemy of churches and images). | | | The same issue is raised now anew, in a manner that recalls the violences evoked by Assmann, but with the modern and post-modern worlds of icon added to the already combustible nature of the issue of monotheistic exclusivism. | | | It has nothing to do with any particular religion and reading the letter of Atta to see which Qur'an passages he quotes is interesting, but really peripheral to the larger problem. |

| | Their Iconoclasm and Our Idolatry, taliban, art, buddha |
| | Ever since, we have oscillated between idolatry and iconoclasm, two impulses that share a belief that images have power: power to bring you to the divine, or to mislead you into worshiping false gods. | | | The Mosaic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all of which recognize the authority of the Old Testament and its prohibition of idol worship, have each given birth to extreme moments of iconoclasm. | | | And the first iconoclast on the record was Moses, who, coming down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments to find the Israelites worshiping a statue, broke the tablets and then the idol itself. |

| | FT March 2001: Icons and Kitsch |
| | For at least some of the pre—Socratics, during roughly the same time as the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible, were famous, or notorious, for their contempt for polytheistic assumptions that the gods could be depicted by the plastic arts. | | | On a more mundane level, we know that Jesus spoke Aramaic (the spoken dialect of biblical Hebrew), since fragments of his speech are embedded in the Greek Gospels (see Mark 5:41; 15:34), while St. Paul proclaimed that same evangel to the world in Greek, though he seems to have been equally at home in Hebrew. | | | For Besançon makes clear that without the tremendous hold that Origen’s Platonism held on all the Eastern churches (despite his condemnation two centuries earlier), iconoclasm would have been robbed of its most plausible argument. |

| | Nothing but good results from iconoclasm, he writes, "if a system that is complete and reasonable be furnished in its place." In the intervening years between 1877 and 1892, that "complete and reasonable system" had been furnished in detail, and theosophical centers made available throughout the world wherein its specific study could be carried on. | | | Yet she proceeds from this preface to a thorough denunciation of authoritarianism in religion, a forthright, and one might even say, merciless, attack upon all the representatives of priestcraft who have turned religious symbols into instruments of power. | | | The natural time for presentation of H.P.B.'s full, positive teaching had not yet arrived, for students had not yet learned to use critical intelligence wisely. |

| | [EMLS 4.2 (September, 1998): 16.1-5] Review of Carnal Rhetoric: Milton's Iconoclasm and the Poetics of Desire |
| | Milton's readers, then, are to bear "fervent witness" to his iconoclasm and shake their complacency in reified images, the mistaken belief that treats "representations of truth as truth itself" (158). | | | Prose, then, is situated in a more mundane, temporal realm from which metaphoric truths must be liberated by the iconoclast. | | | Milton, she argues, wants to tap into his readers' transformative desires through the interplay of iconoclasm and imagination, a "dynamic clash of destructive and constructive energies" (4), yet this process is trapped within a rhetoric that desires transcendence but is mindful of its mortality. |

| | One important objection of many Protestant reformers in the sixteenth century was the use of images in Catholic churches and services, leading to another period of widespread iconoclasm and to the destruction of much Catholic art in northern Europe. | | | Others continue to practice more traditional forms of iconoclasm, still defacing sacred images they cannot accept or understand. | | | Nonetheless, there also seems to survive a natural human desire to symbolically represent our visions of sacred realities—based, perhaps, on an intrinsic desire to truly see God, even if only through the dark glass of art. |
