“Theodore the Studite (759–826) is one of the most important personalities in the period of Eastern Christian theology that followed the Second Council of Nicaea (787). The purpose of this volume is to offer to an English-speaking public all the writings of Theodore that were devoted to the question of the veneration of sacred images. Iconoclasm was Theodore’s chief preoccupation during the second part of his life; it led to the composition of his chief polemical works—the three Antirrhetici and the Seven Chapters against the Iconoclasts—as well as his refutations, in verse, of different poetic compositions by members of the iconoclastic party.” —“INTRODUCTION”
