437: John of Damascus - Apologia Against Those Who Decry Holy Images
Banned Books
Images, Scripture, and imagination
Discussion of icons as pedagogical aids, imagination's role, and how images make invisible realities accessible.
Every Picture Tells a Story.
In this episode, we sit with John of Damascus to listen to him teach us about the veneration of icons — what that means, why it's a subject of dispute, how scripture distinguishes between graven images and god- pleasing icons, and how this all ties into worship and vocation. This and much, much more on this week's episode.
