{"product_id":"image-and-presence-natalie-carnes-9781503604223","title":"Image and Presence: A Christological Reflection on Iconoclasm and Iconophilia","description":"\u003cp\u003eImages increasingly saturate our world, making present to us what is distant or obscure. Yet the power of images also arises from what they do not make present--from a type of absence they do not dispel. Joining a growing multidisciplinary conversation that rejects an understanding of images as lifeless objects, this book offers a theological meditation on the ways images convey \u003ci\u003epresence\u003c\/i\u003e into our world. Just as Christ negates himself in order to manifest the invisible God, images, Natalie Carnes contends, negate themselves to give more than they literally or materially are. Her Christological reflections bring iconoclasm and iconophilia into productive relation, suggesting that they need not oppose one another.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInvestigating such images as the biblical golden calf and paintings of the Virgin Mary, Carnes explores how to distinguish between iconoclasms that maintain fidelity to their theological intentions and those that lead to visual temptation. Offering ecumenical reflections on issues that have long divided Protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox traditions, \u003ci\u003eImage and Presence\u003c\/i\u003e provokes a fundamental reconsideration of images and of the global image crises of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalie Carnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503604225\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503604223\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Natalie Carnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985298850047,"sku":"9781503604223","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d518fda2-182a-4515-869a-23d0740a3286.jpg?v=1683276738","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/image-and-presence-natalie-carnes-9781503604223","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
