The Resurrection and the Icon

The Resurrection and the Icon by Quenot, Michel. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780881411492.

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 mankinds 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 persons being.
