Adopting antique knowledge by Christians – Didactics of images between Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages (A04)

TP a04比较了从4世纪到9世纪在异教、犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教中关于宗教偶像和圣徒崇拜的辩论。图像在宗教教学中扮演了什么角色，作为传播精神救赎和身体治疗的媒介？我们能假设那个时期的基督教世界是同质的意象吗？或者它在不同的文化和社会空间（基督教在希腊-拜占庭，拉丁罗马和北阿尔卑斯地区）有所不同？

TP A 04 is comparing debates on religious icons and saints cults in pagan religions, judaism, christendom and islam from the 4th to the 9th centuries. Which role played images in religious didactics and as a media for the transmission of spiritual salvation and physical healing? Can we assume a homogenous imagery in Christendom in that period? Or did it differ and vary between cultural and social spaces (Christendom in the greek-byzantine, the latin-roman and the northalpine zone)?
