In the Orthodox Christian faith the elements of liturgy, scripture,
hymnody, and iconography are the instruments or -voices- of a
melody of faith. Here Vigen Guroian presents the fundamental
beliefs of Orthodox Christianity through the metaphor of music.
Often drawing on his personal religious experience, Guroian weaves
together the themes of creation and new creation, beginning and
end, sin and holiness, Incarnation and deification, sacrifice and
salvation. Guroian explores the dogmatic foundation of this rich
faith in six chapters, or -movements.- Through discussing Syrian,
Armenian, Byzantine, and Russian iconography and Gospel
illuminations -- illustrated by icons and Armenian miniatures -- he
further reveals how Orthodox Christianity expresses theology as
much in art as through language. As a whole, Guroian's Melody of
Faithbeautifully captures the spirit of Orthodox Christianity and
takes readers to the theological heart of the Orthodox faith.
