Opis

Tollefsen investigates the image-doctrine of St Theodore the Studite with particular attention to his three refutations of the iconoclasts, the Antirrhetici tres adversus iconomachos.

Recenzje

The book thus represents a very useful contribution to the developing scholarly appreciation of the extent and richness of Byzantine philosophical culture and thinking. Tollefsen also sheds a good deal of light on some of the key aspects of Theodore's own thinking, notably in respect of Christology and image theory. Marcus Plested, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
