Idol Anxiety brings together insightful new statements from scholars in religious studies, art history, philosophy, and musicology to show that idolatry is a concept that can be helpful in articulating the ways in which human beings interact with and conceive of the things around them. It includes both case studies that provide examples of how the concept of idolatry can be used to study material objects and more theoretical interventions. Among the book's highlights are a foundational treatment of the second commandment by Jan Assmann; an essay by W.J.T. Mitchell on Nicolas Poussin that will be a model for future discussions of art objects; a groundbreaking consideration of the Islamic ban on images by Mika Natif; and a lucid description by Jean-Luc Marion of his cutting-edge phenomenology of the visible. 606 $aIdols and images$xWorship 606 $aIdolatry 606 $aIdols and images in art 606 $aIdolatry in art 606 $aIdols and images in literature 606 $aIdolatry in literature 606 $aArt and religion 615 0$aIdols and images$xWorship. 615 0$aIdolatry. 615 0$aIdols and images in art. 615 0$aIdolatry in art. 615 0$aIdols and images in literature. 615 0$aIdolatry in literature. 615 0$aArt and religion. 676 $a202/.18 701 $aEllenbogen$b Josh$01567408 701 $aTugendhaft$b Aaron$01567409 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781475603321 996 $aIdol anxiety$93838818 997 $aUNINA
