Within the Eastern tradition of Christianity, the eikon, or religious image, has long held a place of honor. In the greater part of Western Christianity, however, discomfort with images in worship, both statues and panel icons, has been a relatively common current, particularly since the Reformation. In the Roman Catholic Church, after years of using religious statues, the Second Vatican Council's call for "noble simplicity" in many cases led to a stripping of images that in some ways helped refocus attention on the eucharistic celebration itself but also led to a starkness that has left many Roman Catholics unsure of how to interact with the saints or with religious images at all. Today, Western interest in panel icons has been rising, yet we lack standards of quality or catechesis on what to do with them. This book makes the case that icons should have a role to play in the Western Church that goes beyond mere decoration. Citing theological and ecumenical reasons, Visel argues that, with regard to use of icons, the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church needs to give greater respect to the Eastern tradition. While Roman Catholics may never interact with icons in quite the same way that Eastern Christians do, we do need to come to terms with what icons are and how we should encounter them.… (mais)

With an increased interest in evangelization in the modern Church has come a corresponding interest in the transcendental realities which draw people to God: truth, goodness, and beauty. Benedictine Sr. Jeana Visel tackles all three in "Icons in the Western Church." Beginning with an overview of the Eastern theology of icons and the Western Church’s understanding of the role of images in liturgy and catechesis, Sr. Visel seeks to find common ground before making a spirited case for the adoption of iconography within a distinctively Western framework.

Sr. Visel makes ample use of Church documents to bolster her thesis, and the book includes pictorial examples of the use of icons in both the East and West. Pastors, liturgists, liturgical artists, and catechists will find plenty of ideas to reflect on.

Recommended for parish and college libraries.
