Trinity and Incarnation in Anglo-Saxon Art and Thought: Cambridge Studies in Anglo-Saxon England, cartea 21

Autor Barbara C. Raw
en Limba Engleză Paperback – noi 2006
This book is a study of the theology of the Trinity as expressed in the literature and art of the late Anglo-Saxon period. It examines the meaning of the representations of the Trinity in tenth- and eleventh-century English manuscripts and their relationship to Anglo-Saxon theology, and to earlier debates about the legitimacy of representations of the divine. The book's unifying theme is that of the image: the image of the Trinity in the human soul; Christ, the perfect image and visible form of the invisible God; redemption as the restoration of the imperfect human image to its original likeness through contemplation of its divine archetype; prayer as an anticipation of the contemplation of heaven, and art as a form of contemplation. The book, which contains a selection of black and white illustrations, will be of interest to art historians, theologians and literary scholars alike.

Recenzii

'The value of this learned, lucid and attractively designed book is as an historical and iconographic overview rather than a theological critique … it is the work of one thoroughly at home in early medieval religious though and expression.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
