The Seventh General Council, also known as the Second Council of Nicaea, took place in the year 787 AD and is the focus of this book by John Mendham. The council is significant because it established the worship of images, which had been a controversial issue in the early Christian church. Mendham provides a detailed account of the council and its proceedings, including the debates and arguments that led to the decision to allow the use of images in worship. He also explores the historical and cultural context in which the council took place, shedding light on the broader issues and tensions that were at play during this period of Christian history. Overall, this book provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity, the role of images in religious worship, and the development of Christian theology and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
