"Idol Anxiety opens a broad vista onto a critical but understudied topic of interdisciplinary interest beyond the fields of art history and religious studies. Religious, social, political, philosophical, and cultural methodologies create a unique matrix within the multiple scholarly approaches toward idolatry reflected herein. Editors Ellenbogen and Tugendhaft deserve praise for their development of this topic and for the academic breadth of their invited contributors."— D. Apostolos-Cappadona, Choice "Idol Anxiety is a fresh, eclectic combination of established and new voices on an old problem that is important to at least three different fields: religious studies, art history, and philosophy."—Seth Sanders, Trinity College "This collection is essential reading for anyone concerned with idols, made things, and our longstanding attraction to them."—Glenn Peers, University of Texas at Austin
