A Very Readable Exploration of Jewish Views of Idolatry,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Beyond The Graven Image: A Jewish View (Paperback)
What is holy? What is not? Kochan explores the Jewish view of what constitutes idolatry, and the idea that most sanctity is temporary. Hearing is esteemed over seeing in traditional Judaism; the making of an image of a human, who shares the image of the Divine, is strictly controlled by Jewish law. The non-sanctity of matter, the implications of conferring sanctity upon images, and the importance to Judaism of iconoclasm are all discussed in a concise, readable volume.
