Summary
Iconoclasm is a major topic in the history of the Byzantine Empire. It was said that the true worship of Christ was the worship to be found in the spirit and in the truth and not in images. In order to have this critical doctrine accepted, Constantine V held a council in Hiereia in 754. Along with an introduction to the history of the iconoclastic controversy, this book presents an annotated translation of the definition of the iconoclastic council held in Hiereia in 754.
