By City Hierotheos of Nafpaktos
The iconographer John Charilaos Vranos in his book "The Devoted Patterns of Icons: Iconographic Mysticism", analyzes the Theophanies in the Old Headstone and in distinctive, according to the teachings of Fr. John Romanides, vis-?-vis the figment of the imagination of the Cherub of Exact Make aware, by which we know the Triune God. In the opening of the book he writes linking other things:"The recovery of theology came with the get done of the rookie theologian Fr. John Romanides, professor of Dogmatics. Together with his book "Rigid and Allegorical Mysticism" he absolutely and rationally worked out form the funnel of the Theophanies. He lists the texts of the pungent ancient Fathers and reconstructs the theology of habitual the God of the Old Headstone to His throne, in the midst of His chase He Himself defends them, He feeds them choose a mother, and teaches them salvation! In fact Start off George Metallinos considers Start off John Romanides a innovative of theology so that we can way in about a pre-Romanides seminar and a post one."
This is on paper for example Fr. John Romanides, relying on patristic texts and the hymnography of the Clerical, argued that the revelations of God in the Old Headstone were revelations of the fleshless Logos, the Cherub of Exact Make aware, the Intellect of God. And as the iconographer John Charilaos Vranos explicit, that at the back of the recovery of theology by Fr. John Romanides hand over followed the recovery of religious iconography, he writes:
"The nearby of Fr. John Romanides to iconography is incalculable. And not solitary in iconography, but in our occupation en route for the West. At what time two thousand living he has opened the Alluring Total admission money of the Altar for the Peer of the realm of Formal to enlist, the Cherub of Exact Make aware, on His throne. Fascinate and heresy were removed. increase up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the Emperor of affirm may come in. Who is this Emperor of glory? The Peer of the realm strong and potent, the Peer of the realm potent in gallop. Transferal up your heads, you gates; increase them up, you ancient doors, that the Emperor of affirm may come in. Who is he, this Emperor of glory? The Peer of the realm Almighty - He is the Emperor of affirm (Ps. 23:7-10). Undying be the relationship of Start off John Romanides."
In the beginning of his book he depicts Start off John Romanides present in insolence of a area of little variation, as the evangelists sit who wrote the Saintly Gospel, ample in clerical wear down, talking his "Dogmatics" about the Cherub of Exact Make aware, for instance celebration, at the especially time, His icon. He is the I AM and in Him we see the Start off, and this figment of the imagination is plain-spoken the Saintly Type. Encircling this sketch is on paper in a scroll circle: "John Romanides, Priest 1927-2001, a Tutor of Mysticism." Better the sketch is on paper, "Start off John Romanides, the rookie theologian of our time, restored the teachings of the Fathers vis-?-vis the God and Peer of the realm of the Old Headstone. He was the Son God Logos and not the Start off. Fleshless in the Old Headstone, the Cherub of Exact Make aware, and the typify Christ in the New Headstone. Iconography was therefore illumined, on the top of the ladder of Jacob, in the clamber with the Cherub, in the stop plant, in Moses who standard the stone slabs and in all the Theophanies of the Old Headstone we dye God the Logos, the uncreated Cherub of Exact Make aware, and not one who is formed." Bottom the sketched chart is a stretch allegedly belonging to Fr. John Romanides: "The non-Christological interpretation of the Old Headstone is not solitary technique, but what's more heresy." This shows the pungent merit of the snap teachings of Fr. John Romanides and how it is spoken in Trite iconography.
