Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Fr. Maximos has produced a magnificent contemporary book of Orthodox theology here. Steeped in -- and obedient to -- the Church's traditions of theological, aesthetic reflection, he reads various icons and icon types while bringing his own knowledge to bear on them. He also folds his reflections on specific pieces into a larger structure of symbolic meaning, according to the fathers, illuminating depths. Beautifully written and keenly insightful, this book is not to be missed. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

This book studies icons and iconographic themes in the light of Orthodox theology, making special use of perspectives and insights from the patristic interpretation of Scripture. The four chapters here lucidly treat diverse topics, including the enigmatic face of Christ, the paradoxes of Annunciation, the art of Chalcedon, the aesthetics of ambiguity, the art of kenosis, hagiographically oriented studies on St. George, Byzantine warrior saints, and the contemporary theology of the 'icon screen'.--Publisher.
