In Light of Women

by Mary Jane Miller

72 pages of egg tempera icon painting collection and commentary. An exploration of women in iconography and the absence of their voices in the church and icon image. Exquisitely painted icons are juxtaposed with text describing each of the images history, religious context and reflections about the world we live in today. This book is a must for any library, for those collectors of icons and those in authority who preserve this great tradition. Iconography has the potential the shape future theology through new liturgy and perspective for men and women everywhere. Mary Jane Miller's collection of new work is exquisite Commentary by Amazon.

Mary Jane Miller’s work is unbelievably touching and beautiful. Iconography is a visual tradition of symbolism that is deeply meditative and has been prevalent in the Russian Orthodox and Catholic religions for centuries. Beauty can save the world.
