Theology of the Icon, Volume Two

Leonid Ouspensky
translation by Anthony Gythiel

Volume Two of Theology of the Icon

“It is significant that the struggle for the image occurred at the juncture of two periods in Church history, each of which formulated a different aspect of the dogma of the Incarnation. Between these two periods stands the dogma of the veneration of icons, like a boundary stone looking in both directions at once, yet uniting the teachings of each. The entire period of the Ecumenical Councils was essentially christological; it articulated Orthodox teaching concerning the Person of Christ, simultaneously God and man. [...]The period that followed, extending from the ninth to approximately the sixteenth century, was pneumatological. The central question, around which both heresies and the Church’s teaching revolved, then became that of the Holy Spirit and His activity in man, that is, the effect of the Incarnation.”
