icons


I've just signed up for a course on icon painting... something to broaden my Protestant mind (although as my Lutheran friends like to remind me, Luther was keen on icons) and exercise the left side of my brain. This icon by Andrei Rublev has me all inspired...

Hi Jo. I don't suppose you would be interested in writing a list of "essential history for theologians" for the series on my blog? If you'd be interested, please send me an email. Thanks!

Thanks, Ben - will be in touch.
Simon, the course sounds fascinating. The Orthodox tradition is so unfamiliar to most Protestants, I'm keen to learn more. The course I'm taking will include lectures by an art historian, which I'm really looking forward to.
