80 - IconsJim and Nancy ForestFr. Peter GillquistOrthodox Christians do not worship icons, they actually help keep us from idolatry. Icons are "window to heaven." They show us that The Lord Jesus Christ and the saints of heaven are present. This message also explains the imagery of Exodus 20 and 25 when God forbids making a graven image. Fr. Thomas HopkoHeather Mac Kean is an iconographer (one who writes icons). She explains the practical theology of icons and how they reveal truth to all who view icons. This tape fits well with the following lecture: HT-80-02 by Fr. Thomas. The center of the Christian faith is a human and He has been raised from the dead and we have seen and handled this God Himself. Jesus is the very Icon of God.
