An exposition of Orthodox systematic theology, 'Gazing on God' is
written from the point of view of the experience of the faithful,
drawing on traditional icons and liturgy. By tracing the depth of
some key Christian concepts -salvation, Logos, the Trinity- Andreas
Andreopoulos provides a framework for the theology of experience.
In the following chapters seven select icons are analyzed, in order
to demonstrate the theological ideas and themes that may be
revealed by studying Christianity through iconography. The analysis
touches on topics such as time (the eternity of God, 'flat'
liturgical time), space, the Church as the Body of Christ, and the
Trinity. 'Gazing on God' offers to all Christian traditions a
demonstration that, while our understanding of the development of
Christian views and attitudes is guided by the history of
theological ideas, Christianity includes from the beginning a
strong dimension of meta-linguistic knowledge, which is expressed
in its liturgy, as well as in its symbolism.
