Demonstrating that religion was the period's defining force, she reveals how the clash over graven images, banned by Islam, both provoked iconoclasm in Constantinople and generated a distinct western commitment to Christian pictorial narrative. In a new preface, Herrin discusses the book's origins, reception, and influence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Herrin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691219214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691219219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.50d","brand":"Judith Herrin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44051367231743,"sku":"9780691219219","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6f15395f-b928-461b-ad7f-0d27d4c48df1.jpg?v=1685012670","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-formation-of-christendom-judith-herrin-9780691219219","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
