It allows viewers to uncover fresh dimensions and encounter the Kingdom of God from within the created world. The meaning of icons, which are often referred to as \"windows into heaven,\" reaches beyond the limits of the natural world and into the divine realm.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEve Tibbs is an Orthodox insider and veteran teacher who has devoted her career to translating the faith for evangelicals. Her comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the history, theology, spirituality, and role of icons in Eastern Orthodoxy is followed by an immersive experience--a narrative journey through eighteen pivotal events in the life of Jesus Christ as depicted in the New Testament Gospels. Each event is illuminated through the form and color of Orthodox icons accompanied by descriptions of the messages they convey. Here \"interpretation\" works in two ways: to guide the curious, artists, students and even the lifelong Orthodox in interpreting icons and to show how icons interpret the biblical text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeeing the Gospel \u003c\/i\u003epresents a visual biblical language for a visual culture and even describes how icons can be used in other faith traditions. The book includes a foreword by Richard J. Mouw and features ninety full-color icons throughout.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baker Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781540968005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240","brand":"Eve Tibbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45331932577973,"sku":"9781540968005","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_d1f91b97-e5d8-40ab-990b-5be37367f078.jpg?v=1745938646","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/seeing-the-gospel-an-interpretive-guide-to-orthodox-icons-9781540968005","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
