Sherrard discusses the ever-present, timeless qualities of beauty, love and miracle through which we can be renewed and transformed, whatever the conditions of the world in which we live. It is an important work as "a completely profane world - of a cosmos wholly desacralized- is a fairly recent invention of the western mind, and only now are we beginning to realize the appalling consequenses of trying to order and mould our social, personal and creative life in obedience to its dictates." This book complements the author's Human Image: World Image.

This book taps the rich vein of the blending of theology and art in the Middle Ages, with particular reference to the icon of the Transfiguration of Christ. The author discusses in detail many aspects of the Transfiguration icon—the mountain, the cloud, the positioning of the apostles, the aspects of the Old Testament prophets and the image of Christ Himself—taking the reader through an illustrated historical journey. Andreopoulos’s expert use of the New Testament, together with early Christian and Jewish texts, as well as apocryphal writings and pagan sources,elucidates the evolution of art and doctrine that surround this scriptural manifestation of Christ as God.

An unparalleled exploration of Russia's most revered icon : The Holy Trinity by St. Andrei Rublev. It reveals enigmatic details of the three angels (who serve as a type of the Trinity) and expounds upon the theological mystery expressed by their gesture,posture and clothing. Pavel Florensky wrote: "There exists the icon of the Trinity by St. Andrei Rublev, therefore, God exists." Fr. Gabriel expounds upon this and shows how the icon reveals the timeless message of salvation in the modern world. He understands precisely that iconography represents a theological confession of Christian faith. This inspired and utterly sober work deserves a wide readership.
