Theology of the Icons

Om utbildningen

This course explores the world of Eastern Christian iconography. Throughout the course we will reflect on the theological and anthropological foundations of Eastern Christian iconography. We will do this by surveying the historical development of the Eastern Christian iconographic tradition from early Christianity to the modern period, with particular emphasis on the iconographic types of Jesus, Mary, saints, and on liturgical feasts. The course incorporates rich visual presentations, reading materials (ancient source texts and contemporary studies), and additional learning resources.

General admission requirements for university studies. Students taking part in the course as a part of their Bachelor’s degree program must have completed Course A, Introduction in Philosophy and Theology (30 ECTS credits).
