5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece!, April 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Iconostasis (Paperback)
The two essays The Spiritual Structure of Dreams and Spiritual Sobriety and the Iconic Face are mind-altering. Florensky was an incredible Intellect, unfortunately little known in the west.

I would place this book right next to the Mathnawi of Jalaludin Rumi for lucid exposition on actual spiritual reality and practice.

Thank you to Donald Sheehan and Olga Andrejev for bringing these treasures to us poverty stricken English speakers!

(P.S. Andrejev is a member of the St Petersburg family that revived the mystical Russian Icon painting tradition and taught it for many years)

This review is from: Iconostasis (Paperback)
The saintly author of this book has packed it with insights. Many are profound and worth pondering at length. His understanding of the tradition has enriched the hours I've spent mixing and applying egg tempera to gesso coated boards.
