Interweaving art history, patristics, theology, and aesthetics, this original phenomenological study develops a fresh new approach to the icon.

Recenzje

'This is the first philosophical book on Byzantine iconography to be written in the phenomenological tradition. In addition, the reader has been catered for with a flawless introduction to Patristic debates on the icon, before and after the Second Council of Nicaea, plus an introduction to Modern and Contemporary Orthodox theology of the icon. Dr Rumpza's contribution will be indispensable — to theologians, art historians, and philosophers alike.' Jean-Yves Lacoste, Les Études Philosophiques
