The Image of God the Father

Fr Steven has given us a unique set of essays for edification, discussion and even comment and disagreement. His exposition on "God the Father" returns us to the roots of Orthodox iconography from which practitioners have strayed so completely, especially in recent centuries. Today, there is a tremendous interest in authentic iconography engendered by greater freedom to travel in such countries as Russia where eighteenth and century icons of "God the Father" abound. Travelers see these icons and come back with many questions which Fr Steven's study answers.

Fr Steven is a scholar and researcher of Orthodox tradition. He is a graduate of St Vladimir's Seminary and holds a doctorate from the University of Montreal in theology with a specialization in Christian and Orthodox iconography.
