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

TP A 04是比较从4世纪到9世纪关于异教宗教、犹太教、基督教和伊斯兰教中宗教圣像和圣徒邪教的争论。图像在宗教教学中扮演了什么角色，它是精神救赎和身体康复的传播媒介？我们能假设在那个时期基督教世界有一个同质的意象吗？还是在不同的文化和社会空间（希腊-拜占庭、拉丁-罗马和北阿尔卑斯地区的基督教世界）之间存在差异？

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)?
