Are Icons Idols? [Responding to J.I. Packer’s Iconoclasm]
Are Eastern Orthodox icons of Christ idols? Reformed writer J.I. Packer [1926–2020] seemed to think so. In his popular 1973 book, Knowing God, he writes vehemently against the use of images in Christian worship by pointing to the second commandment. So, are Orthodox Christians idolaters? Or is Packer missing something? This is an Orthodox Christian response to Packer’s fourth chapter of his book, “Knowing God.“
