Series: Mystical Theology
Unit 14: Gregory Palamas
Episode 4: Iconography & Knowledge of God through Prayer
The fourth episode in our series discusses the characteristics of Hesychast iconography and the two forms of knowledge: human or created knowledge and knowledge of God.
Themes covered in this episode include the erroneous employment of analogy in the post-Augustinian Western theological tradition, explaining why in the Orthodox Biblical and Patristic tradition there is neither the analogia entis nor the analogia fidei. In fact, the way to knowledge of God is through prayer and worship, which was the central theme of the Hesychast Controversy of the 14th century, culminating in the 1351 Council of Constantinople.
