A five-part article written by an Orthodox blogger in response to Steven Wedgeworth's argument against the use of icons back in 2013. Wedgeworth's argument is seemingly based at least in part on Bishop John Jewel's "Homily Against the Peril of Idolatry and the Superfluous Decking of Churches", one of the Homlies approved in the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion. As the blogger shows, and as I've suspected is the case generally speaking in the early Reformers' apologetic uses of patristic material on all sorts of matters, the employment of the writings from the Church Fathers is often highly selective. Add to this that the typical Calvinist exegesis of the pertinent texts (what Wedgeworth calls "the earlier Biblical testimony") is shoddy in the extreme (accounting for why it was never accepted by Lutherans or high-church Anglicans) and you have a situation that leads to the conclusion, per E.H. Browne and others, the the Book of Homilies deserve only our general assent.
