Synopsis
A unique part of the Orthodox Christian tradition, sacred paintings called icons teach us the message of God, lay paths for our prayers, and point the way to our salvation. Painted by master iconographer Fr. Theodore Koufos and presented in the photographs of David DeJonge, the icons of St. Nicholas Orthodox Church in Grand Rapids, Michigan, are clear and beautiful examples of their kind. These paintings tell the stories of Jesus Christ, the angels, and the holy figures of the Orthodox Christian faith. Beyond the Image explores the images and meanings of the icons, unfolding the whole history of the Church and revealing the truth of heaven that it preserves on earth. Filled with rich, full-color imagery, this beautiful book is an excellent visual introduction to the Orthodox faith and its iconographic tradition, and makes a perfect coffee table book or holiday gift.
