Synaxis Press blurb:
THE ICON AS SCRIPTURE
(by Archbishop Lazar Puhalo)Since 1972, Archbishop Lazar has given a lecture, with slides, entitled "The Icon as Scripture." This important dimension of the meaning of the icon is often overlooked, or not well defined. "The icon is another one of the languages into which the Bible is translated," Archbishop Lazar observes. This important book is copiously illustrated with reproductions of icons and line drawings to emphasize aspects of the icon. Contains an added chapter on the development of icons of the Last Judgment, and the text of Dr. Alexandre Kalomiros' landmark treatise, "The River of Fire." (also available in Romanian)
