This book should be on the shelf of every theologian, poet, ideologue, etc. IT explains the image question from Luther and Karlstadt's controversies through Calvinism and up through Eastern Orthodox divagations. The fun part is that the author is a Polish intellectual trapped in the Soviet imperialist system and published this in 1989 originally in Polish. The sly hits the author makes at Marxist iconomachy while seemingly discussing 1555 Moldavia just endlessly cracked me up, as they were so pointed, and yet so indirect.

A must-read that should be on everybody's shelf from age 2 to 99.
