This is a compilation of articles about the tradition of church iconography. The articles were written by contemporary theologians and art researchers from Bulgaria, Greece, Russia, Serbia, Germany, France and Britain. They highlight various aspects of icon worship, such as the origin and the evolution of church imagery, its theological interpretations and related controversies, iconographic techniques, the symbols and meanings of an icon, and the canonical aspect of iconographic styles and themes. The book tries to answer the question of why religious icons hold such an important place in the mind of the believer, and speculates about the future of religious iconography.
