Inhaltsangabe:
In the frantic consumption of images which has so characterized the close of this century, a profound unrest has come to light, an emerging desire for a different image, one that might serve as the means for mankind's awakening as a source of fulfillment and peace. In the great tradition of the Orthodox Church, the icon remains as a witness to the reality which it depicts and, more importantly, renews the presence of that reality within the worshipping community. By its silent proclamation, the icon avoids the traps of human reason and fathoms the depth of a person's being.
Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:
Michel Quenot, an Orthodox layman who teaches modern languages in Switzerland, is intensely involved in the study of the art and the theology of the icon. His previous works include The Icon: Window of the Kingdom (SVS Press, 1991).
