"The images released by The Islamic State of militants smashing statues at ancient
sites were a horrifying aspect of their advance across Northern Iraq and Syria during
2015-16. Their leaders justified this act of iconoclasm by arguing that such actions
were divinely decreed in Islam, a notion that has remained fixed in the public consciousness.
The Image Debate is a collection of thirteen essays that examine the controversy surrounding
the use of images in Islamic and other religious cultures and seek to redress some
of the misunderstandings that have arisen. Written by leading academics from the United
States, Australia, Turkey, Israel and the United Kingdom, the book opens with an introduction
by the editor Christiane Gruber, who sets the subject in context with a detailed examination
of the debates over idols and the production of figural images in Islamic traditions.
The book is divided into three sections: the first deals with pre-modern Islamic practices
and anxieties concerned with image-making; the second addresses similar issues in
Judaism, in Christianity during the Byzantine period, in pre-Islamic Iran and Central
Asia, and in Hindu and Buddhist contexts in South Asia; and the third brings the reader
back to Islamic lands by examining traditions of figural representation in the modern
and contemporary periods." -- Publisher's website
