The Incarnate God: The Feasts and the Life of Jesus Christ Vol 2

Publisher:   St Vladimirs Seminary Pr (1994)
Format:   Paperback
Copies:   1 copy available
Product Info:   Includes black & white illustrations throughout.Utilizing scriptural readings, hymns, and icons of the feasts of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, the team of authors, comprised of Orthodox theologians and pastors, draws us deeply into the mysteries of the faith as experienced in the cycle of feasts and fasts which are lived out by the faithful each year.

Like The Living God, the present work draws on all the rich resources of the Orthodox tradition to present a holistic vision of the faith'a vision accessible to believers precisely because it derives from their own experience of the Church. Scripture, theology, hymnography and iconography illustrations that accompany the text were commissioned specifically for this edition. These images represent an attempt to present to the people of God a small part of the vast treasury of images from the iconographic tradition of the Church.

This incredible rich catechetical work is organized into two volumes. Volume I, organized around Advent, Christmas and the Theophany cycles, includes chapters of the Nativity and Presentation of the Virgin, the Holy Ancestors, angels and the circumcision. Volume II, primarily focusing on Great Lent and the Resurrection, also covers Ascension, Pentecost, and Dormition. Each volume, in addition to a complete index, has an extensive useful glossary explaining liturgical, scriptural and theological terminology.

The Incarnate God is a multilevel catechism intended for use in classrooms and study groups, and is particularly designed for individual edification and growth.
