 What did the Iconoclasts fail to take into account by repudiating icons depicting God the Son?

            By rejecting any representation of Christ, the Iconoclasts failed to take into account the full meaning of the Incarnation. As the textbook points out, the dispute about holy icons was inseparably bound up with the teaching about the Person of Christ, and it points out that Iconoclasm is essentially a blend of influences from Nestorianism and the ideas of the Judaizers. The prefatory notes to the course therefore conclude that it is safe to say that that all people who revile or slander holy icons, or who seek to humanize or Westernize them, have a non-Christian view of some aspects of Christ's Person, and of the nature of redemption.
