As an integral part of religious practice, icons held pride of place in early Russian churches. Orthodox theologians believed that icons, with their symbolic content, were to illustrate the Liturgy and, being in accord with the texts of Holy Scripture, add details to them and make the Gospels more comprehensible. While working on an image theologians and iconographers used all available sources: the Gospels, hagiographies, verbal expressions from the Liturgy and other services, hymns, prayers, words of prophets and commentaries.

Drawing upon many unexpected sources—especially Plato and the ancient Greeks—these wide-ranging, generous essays provide timely reiterations of ancient alchemical traditions and trace some pivotal...

This is the first book to examine the Subtle Body - a model of subjectivity found in esoteric, eastern and western religious and philosophical traditions - from a transdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective.
