Andrey- Image Prohibition

Image prohibition is a compelling issue. The progression of where this subject stands today compared to yesterday is very opposing. In the past, representational imagery in the Christian church was used to explain the Gospel to the illiterate. Today, most contemporary churches do not have images present at all within their walls. People have first of all become much more educated and therefore may not need images to explain faith. In addition, this increased education and the progression of time has led to conflict over whether images accurately represent theology or whether the holy figures depict their real life counterparts accurately. I wonder if churches will continue to move away from the use of sacred images or will we see a resurgence of this?
