Description

First published in 1940, Holy Images presents four Gifford Lectures on natural theology delivered by Edwyn Bevan in 1933, exploring the complex relationship between idolatry and image-worship across ancient pagan and Christian traditions. This scholarly work examines not only Western Christian perspectives but also Hebrew, Patristic, Muslim and Eastern approaches to symbols and symbolism in worship. By placing the role of sacred imagery within a broad historical and theological context, Bevan develops innovative lines of enquiry that illuminate how different cultures and religions have understood the veneration of images. The lectures address perennial questions about the legitimacy and meaning of visual representation in spiritual practice, making this Routledge Revivals edition an essential resource for scholars of religious history, theology, anthropology and the cultural significance of religious imagery across civilisations.

Key Features

Holy Images comprises four complete Gifford Lectures on natural theology originally delivered by Edwyn Bevan in 1933.

The work examines attitudes towards image-worship in ancient paganism, Western Christianity, Hebrew tradition, Patristic thought, Islam and Eastern religions.

Bevan contextualises disputes over religious imagery within a comprehensive historical framework spanning multiple cultures and theological traditions.

This Routledge Revivals edition makes an important 1940 scholarly text on idolatry and symbolism in worship accessible to contemporary readers.

The lectures explore how symbols function in religious practice across different faith traditions and historical periods.
