Aniconism in Christianity
Christianity
has not generally practised
aniconism
, or the avoidance or prohibition of types of images, but has had an
active tradition of making and venerating images
of
God
and other religious figures. However there are periods of aniconism in
Christian history
, notably in the
Early Christian church
, in the
Byzantine iconoclasm
of the 8th century, and following the
Protestant Reformation
of the 16th century, when
Calvinism
in particular rejected all images in churches, and this practice continues today in Calvinist churches,
Fundamentalist Christianity
, as well as among other
evangelicals
.
