Theology of Icons

The theology of icons occupies a prominent place within Orthodox theology as a whole. This course explores theological articulations of visual representations within the Orthodox tradition, as well as the use and meaning of the very concept of ’icon’ in Biblical narratives, patristic theology and the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church. The course will explore both traditional and modern theological discourses on icons.

At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to:

  • demonstrate knowledge of major themes/issues discussed during the iconoclastic crisis
  • demonstrate knowledge of major theologians, writing on icons and their theology, and their works
  • analyze pro-icons and contra-icons arguments
  • relate the issues specific to the theology of icons with broader theological concerns
