Stephanie Rumpza (Paris Sorbonne Universite)

Phenomenology of the Icon

Mediating God Through the Image

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How can a finite thing mediate an infinite God? Critically weaving together patristics, theology, art history, aesthetics, and religious practice with the hermeneutic phenomenology of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jean-Luc Marion, this book proposes a new answer to this paradox based on a fresh and original approach to the Byzantine icon.
