{"product_id":"from-the-holy-scriptures-to-holy-images-von-adriana-bara","title":"From the Holy Scriptures to Holy Images","description":"\u003cp\u003eSince the beginning of Christianity, Christians   have been faced with the ambiguous nature   of \"image\" and the risk of idolatry. The   iconoclasts (those who fought against the icons)   stated that every image must be identical with its   prototype; therefore, an icon is an idol since it   pretends to be God. For the iconodules (those who   venerate the icons) the icons are not idols because   they are not consubstantial with or identical to   their prototypes.  The first part, of my book ¿Short history of icon¿   offers a brief overview of the history of the icons   in the first seven centuries of Christianity, and   presents the dispute between iconoclasts and   iconodules. The second part, ¿The Gospels in Icons   according to the Eastern Orthodox Tradition¿   describes eight icons from historical, aesthetical   and liturgical points of view. In the Conclusion I   stress the connection between icon and Incarnation   in the context of today¿s Orthodoxy. The Orthodox   Church endeavored to direct the human senses,   including sight in its use of icons, to the greater   knowledge and glorification of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838337807\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Gospels in Icons according to the Eastern Orthodox Tradition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838337807","offer_id":39485362339933,"sku":"9783838337807","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/de1f70b2-a2c0-41d5-9799-f099354dfb13.jpg?v=1776496476","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/from-the-holy-scriptures-to-holy-images-von-adriana-bara","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
