"Saint John of Damascus. About holy images. Works: "About the herring" and others" is a collection of treatises by the ancient Greek theologian and writer Saint John of Damascus. In this book, the author presents his own point of view on the use of images of saints in religious practices and examines their meaning and role in worship.
This edition also contains three sermons on the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which also belong to the literary legacy of St. John Damascene. The author systematically examines this dogma and offers his own conclusions, based on the sacred texts and writings of the holy fathers of the Church.
"Saint John of Damascus. On holy images. Works: "On the herring" and others" is a valuable source both for researchers of Christian theology and for all those interested in the history of church art and worship in the Christian Church."
