Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. How can something finite mediate an infinite God? Weaving patristics, theology, art history, aesthetics, and religious practice with the hermeneutic phenomenology of Hans-George Gadamer and Jean-Luc Marion, Stephanie Rumpza proposes a new answer to this paradox by offering a fresh and original approach to the Byzantine icon. She demonstrates the power and relevance of the phenomenological method to integrate hermeneutic aesthetics and divine transcendence, notably how the material and visual dimensions of the icon are illuminated by traditional practices of prayer. Rumpza's study targets a problem that is a major fault line in the continental philosophy of religion the integrity of finite beings I relation to a God that transcends them. For philosophers, her book demonstrates the relevance of a cherished religious practice of Eastern Christianity. For art historians, she proposes a novel philosophical paradigm for understanding the icon as it is approached in practice. How can a finite thing mediate an infinite God? Critically weaving together patristics, theology, art history, aesthetics, and religious practice with the hermeneutic phenomenology of Hans-Georg Gadamer and Jean-Luc Marion, this book proposes a new answer to this paradox based on a fresh and original approach to the Byzantine icon.
