Iconostasis

Pavel Florensky
translated by Donald Sheehan & Olga Andrejev
introduction by Donald Sheehan

“We have found that Iconostasis demands not merely linguistic ability to comprehend it but—far more deeply—spiritual purpose. [...T]his[...]is the very ground of the book’s whole argument. Through the medium of the believer’s faith, the icon becomes the opening through which God can act directly in the believer as the cause of his or her comprehension of the icon: such is the ground. And from this ground, we came to see that Fr. Pavel is fashioning in this book what can be termed an iconic prose, a prose that attempts to be an opening through which God can act in us as the cause of our comprehending it.”
—“Preface”
