Seller's Description:
Very Good. Theodore Abu Qurrah (ca. 755-830) was one of the most eloquent iconophiles in the generation following John of Damascus and among the first Orthodox theologians to write in Arabic. A skilled controversialist, he took up his pen against Nestorians and Monophysites as well as Jews and Moslems in defense of Chalcedonian Orthodoxy, and reproved the ''many Christians who are abandoning prostration to the icon of Christ our God'' because ''anti-Christians are reprimanding them for their prostration...and they sneer at them. '' Though Theodore was not original in his argumentation, wholly incorporating and extending the thought of his master John of Damascus, his treatise does reveal the plight of a Christian community within the Caliphate facing more open hostility, creating increased pressure for Christians to hide those aspects of their faith that provoked the irritation of their Moslem overlords and non-Christian neighbors. For Theodore, veneration of icons was so essential an element of Christian practice that abandoning it was tantamount to abandoning other mysteries of the faith such as the Eucharist, baptism, chrismation and the veneration of the Cross. Though unknown in English translation till now (this is the premier volume in a series published by Peeters-Louvain called Eastern Christian Texts in Translation), Theodore's importance in his own time beckons us to a fuller awareness of the community of great iconophile theologians of the eighth and ninth centuries. Firm and unmarked, with faint shelfwear and sunfading to front cover.
