New Scholarship That PROVES First Century Icon Veneration?

Subscribe Joining me today is Evangelos from Scriptorium Press to discuss a HUGE breakthrough in scholarship that may reveal evidence of first century icon veneration, prayers for the dead AND the episcopacy. New evidence has come to light surrounding the corpus of "Pseudo" Dionysius that claims the corpus is actually genuine to the first century. Let's explore this new evidence and dive into this very important subject for the advancement of apologetics dialogue on icon veneration. #orthodox #protestant #apologetics Saint Dionysius the Areopagite, the disciple of Saint Paul, was a famous first-century bishop, theologian, and martyr from Athens. He is the author of some of the earliest theological treatises in the Church and an inexhaustible source of apostolic wisdom. Presented here for the first time in English is his authoritative biography written by the learned 9th-century monk Michael Syncellus, together with the story of his martyrdom in Gaul translated from an ancient Latin account. The picture that emerges is one of an inspired prophet, merciful pastor, and zealous missionary.
