BROOKLINE, Mass. Holy Cross Orthodox Press has published the Educating Icon: Teaching Wisdom and Holiness in the Orthodox Way, by Anton C. Vrame. The work is an exploration of the art, theology, and liturgical-devotional use of icons in the Orthodox Church in order to uncover their educational style. While many think of icons merely as aids for teaching, Vrame writes, this is not a better way to use art in classroom, but a way of seeing the educational task of the Church from the perspective of the icon. In short, the book proposes that the goal of education in the Church is for each member of the community to become a living icon of the living God. The curriculum for achieving this goal is the sacred life of the Church that informs, forms, and transforms the learner and the community from image to likeness of God. With lively, colorful and dramatic examples, Vrame provides a fresh look at the
ancient art of the Church. Filled with color plates, the book explores numerous icons and teaches about them while leading the reader to consider how they influence the educational ministry of the Church. Ideal for Sunday school teacher and designers of Christian education programs, the book will influence the way we see icons in the Church and by extension how we think about the visual world around us. Thomas Groome, professor of theology and education at Boston College, says that Educating Icon reflects a truly Orthodox approach to catechesis... that will have universal appeal. Dr. Vrame holds a doctorate in theology and education from Boston College and presently teaches at Holy Cross. He has been active in the field of religious education for the past decade and is a frequent speaker to parishes, scholarly meetings, and other gatherings. The book is available at Holy Cross Bookstore, (800) 245-0599.
