437: John of Damascus - Apologia Against Those Who Decry Holy Images
Banned Books
Sacramentality and instrumentality
Hosts link icon veneration to sacramental logic: matter can mediate divine presence, impacting Eucharist and baptism debates.
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.
