Summary
In this study, the authors deal with the question of whether and to what extent images act as forms of the intensification of presence (analogous to the sacrament) or if they in fact dispel or even endanger presence. Are they forms of fulfilled presence or do they have the opposite function? The ambivalences of the impact and the uses of images lead to iconic controversy, and the studies of image hermeneutics in this volume may well help to settle this.
