Answer the 10 questions, if you would like to use my e-textbook. Ask me for the login to my chegg account. Chapters 8 & 9.

  • Identify the forces at work in the spread of Christianity and differentiate between the new religion’s use of typology, symbolism, and iconography.
  • Explain Christianity’s relationship to Judaism. What are the differences between the two?
  • Describe the Roman reaction of Christianity and explore the ways in which Roman traditions may have impacted the religion’s development.
  • Know the major parts of the Basilica Plan: narthex, nave, aisles, transept, apse.
  • What is syncretism? Provide and explain an example.
  • Characterize the new Byzantine style of art and discuss how it reflects the values of the Byzantine emperors, especially Justinian.
  • Why do Byzantine artists move away from Greek and Roman naturalism in their depictions of religious subjects? What are artistic expressions from this style meant to achieve in the viewer? Develop a strong thesis and support your response with specific references to works we have covered.
  • Like the Muslims, Leo III argued that God had prohibited religious images in the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make any graven image, or any likeness or any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” Iconophiles claimed that the images were a form of worship. Referencing specific works from the chapter, construct your own argument for or against religious images.
  • Outline the principal tenets of the Muslim faith. How does it compare to Christianity and Judaism? All three are considered “Abrahamic religions.” What does this mean? How are the alike and different?
  • “Even when it is outlawed, art finds a means of expressions.” Explain this statement in terms of Islamic mosque decoration. Explain Islam’s reasons for banning figurative images and discuss what forms and motifs are included in art and architecture from this style. Be sure to reference and explain specific works of art and/or architecture.
