[Matt Sheffield · Rating 4 out of 5]

Written in 1989, much of this book feels prescient and I found myself amazed at how valuable his words are for 2017 and beyond. More likely than clairvoyance, however, is that the ancient way of Orthodoxy is less susceptible to the fog of our secular age and the mud of postmodernism. It, therefore, has a clearer vision of the nature of human beings and the present context we find ourselves in. With those two objects in sight Anthony Ugolnik offers in this book a beautiful way forward.

I enjoyed reading this book, more due to seeing Christianity from a different perspective. Growing up in the west, we sometimes fail to realise how much our surroundings influence our thought patterns. This book helps to reveal some of that. Worth reading if you don’t understand icons and Orthodox Christianity.
