'These essays ask readers to reconsider their pre-existing assumptions about ideologically-motivated attacks on images and to see similarities between various iconoclasms in different times and places, from the early Christian destruction of pagan images to the Taliban's destruction of the giant Buddhas in Barniyan province in Afghanistan in 2001.

Journal of Art Historiography 'Iconoclasm from Antiquity to Modernity contains some papers of genuine originality and substance.' Art and Christianity
