Reseña del libro "Gazing on God: Trinity, Church and Salvation in Orthodox Thought and Iconography (en Inglés)"
'Gazing on God' is an exposition of Orthodox theology viewed through the lens of the experience of the faithful. This new theological approach encourages a critical and constructive dialogue across denominational, historical and cultural divides. We are led through an exhibition of icons, which are seen not only as objects of history and beauty, but also as tools to aid our understanding of theological thought. In this journey we discover that we need to change our expectations, and therefore admit that terms like 'understand' or 'know' are too limited when faced with the concept of the mystery of God. We may never be able to gaze on God completely and grasp this mystery in its fullness, however, the theology of experience will help us on our journey and we may see that God is gazing on us instead. 'Gazing on God' breaks through the typical boundaries of introductory theological and iconological works and is essential reading for scholars interested in Eastern Christian theology, but also for anyone interested in Christian spirituality. Revd Dr Andreas Andreopoulos is Reader in Orthodox Theology at the University of Winchester and an Orthodox priest. He is also the author of 'This is my Beloved Son: The Transfiguration of Christ'; 'Art as Theology: From the Postmodern to the Medieval'; 'The Sign of the Cross: The Gesture, the Mystery, the History'; and 'Metamorphosis: The Transfiguration in Byzantine Theology and Iconography'. 'In this new book, Fr Andreas continues to take us into the mysteries of theology by way of the icon. . . . Drawing on his native Greek traditions, both popular and philosophical, he opens up a world in which images, visual and poetic, speak to us of the Orthodox faith, entered through prayer. Andrew Louth FBA Professor Emeritus of Patristic and Byzantine Studies, Durham University.
