Theology of the image: The Icon and icon painters

Anthology

This book, the first of its kind, presents the most significant works on the theology of the image in the Russian Orthodox tradition. Some of theses works are taken from rare publications and were practically unavailable. Among the contributors are very well known theologians and historians of art: F. Buslaev, N. Kondakov, Iu. Olsuf`ev, N. Pokrovskii, D. Rovinskii, etc. One chapter contains documents of the Seventh Ecumenical Council on the dogmatic vindication of icon worship, the theological meaning of iconographic images and Church symbolism. Many of the works are about outstanding works of ancient icon painters.
