About the Book

St. John of Damascus 2 Book Contents / WORDS 3 / Dogmatic and Polemic Works150 / An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith /link/474 / The soulful tale of the life of Barlaam and Joasaph475 / John of Damascus (c. 675 - 753 (777?)) (Greek Ιωαννης ο Δαμασκηνος) - reverend saint, one of the Church Fathers, theologian and hymnographer. He bore the hereditary nickname Mansur ("victorious"). His father Sergius (Ibn-Serjun) served at the caliph's court in Damascus with the title of "great dogofet," a tax collector. Subsequently, he was replaced by John himself.According to legend, he studied with Cosma (later of Mayumsk) with a captive monk from Calabria (also named Cosma). About 736 he was tonsured at the monastery of St. Sava near Jerusalem. Known as the largest systematizer of Christian dogma; he owns the fundamental work "The Source of Knowledge", which includes the philosophical ("Dialectics"), accusatory ("On heresies") and dogmatic ("Exact exposition of the Orthodox Faith") sections. During the period of iconoclasm, he advocated the veneration of icons, the author of "Three Defensive Words in Support of Icon veneration," in which iconoclasm is understood as a heresy of heresy, and for the first time there is a distinction between "service", befitting only to God, and "worship", provided to created things, icons included. The Iconoclastic Council of 754 anathematized John four times, Church tradition ascribes to John a number of canons that changed the course of Matins, the compilation of the Octoichus and many troparia, kontakia and stichera(s) dedicated to various saints and festive events.One of the types of icons of the Theotokos is associated with the name of John and the famous Mother of God chant "She rejoices about you ...". According to legend, John was falsely accused of high treason and chopped off his right hand. After praying in front of the icon of the Mother of God, the severed brush grew, in gratitude the chant "Rejoices in You ..." was written, and a silver image of the hand was attached to the icon of the Theotokos, which was later reproduced on many copies. This icon received the name "Three-Handed" (Troeruchitsa)The fundamental work "Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith" is the first systematic exposition of the Orthodox faith. The work of John of Damascus is still the main symbolic book of Orthodoxy, the main source of the foundations of Christian teaching for the Orthodox Church. This work is the statements of the Monk John concerning the general principles of faith, the Church, morality, morals, a consistent and harmonious examination of the doctrine of God, the Trinity, the creation of the world, angels and demons, visible nature and paradise, about man, his attributes and providence.St. John of Damascus is venerated on December 4 (17). Rev. Father John, pray to God for us.
