NEW RELEASE BY FREEDOM PUBLISHING
From Archpriest, the Very Reverend Fr. Lawrence Cross, AO and Colleagues…
Three Books on Eastern Christianity…
No one has been more active in both the local and international church community than Fr. Cross in ‘building bridges’
between the Churches, so as to expand their knowledge of one another and of their particular idea and experience of
Tradition. These deceptively slim volumes not only do the subject matter great justice, but also make accessible to the
general reader the complexities and nuances of the sometimes difficult relationship between the Churches.
God’s Holy Fire: A Theology of the Icon
Fr. Lawrence Cross with Andrew Quinlan, Joseph Leach, Sr. Birute Arendarcikas, RSM and Brendan
Cooke

the genesis of the icon
and
iconoclasm
,
and
the function of
icons in the Church
.
Illustrated in colour and
black and white. A bibliography included.
