The Beginning of the Narrative

  

This session brings the first Byzantine tales of the Jews’ desecration of Christian images into sharper focus, by mapping out their development, and by discerning patterns in their social and cultural processes. These moral tales began to circulate during the Byzantine Iconoclastic Controversy, when eastern Christianity attempted to return the religion to its purest form of devotion - a doctrine without images
