"We have grown used to the battles over Jesus-whether he was human or divine as well, whether he could do miracles or just inspire them, whether he even existed or not. Much of the church defends tradition and the critics take shots at that tradition. But what if these debates have masked the real story of Jesus from us? What if even Jesus's defenders in the church have been blinded by so focusing on these issues that it has prevented them from fully grappling with what the Gospels really teach? Bible scholar, Anglican bishop, and bestselling author N.T. Wright summarizes a lifetime of study of Jesus and the New Testament in order to present for a general audience who Jesus was and is. In SIMPLY JESUS, we are invited to hear one of our leading scholars introduce the story of carpenter's son from Nazareth as if we were hearing it for the first time. "Jesus-the Jesus we might discover if we really looked," explains Wright, "is larger, more disturbing, more urgent than we had ever imagined. We have successfully managed to hide behind other questions and to avoid the huge, world-shaking challenge of Jesus' central claim and achievement. It is we, the churches, who have been the real reductionists. We have reduced the kingdom of God to private piety; the victory of the cross to comfort for the conscience; Easter itself to a happy, escapist ending after a sad, dark tale. Piety, conscience and ultimate happiness are important, but not nearly as important as Jesus himself."

Cristo lasciò personalmente e direttamente i tratti del proprio volto impressi su un panno. È questo l’affascinante e misterioso inizio che accomuna le icone Acheropite di Cristo. Immagini «non fatte da mano d’uomo», pressoché sconosciute al mondo occidentale, rappresentano invece il fondamento della ritrattistica dell’Oriente cristiano per quanto riguarda il volto di Gesù. Icone straordinarie che fondano la teologia e la storia dell’arte o piuttosto immagini inventate dalla Chiesa per legittimare il culto delle rappresentazioni sacre in un’epoca di violenti dibattiti come fu quella delle lotte iconoclaste? Il libro di Emanuela Fogliadini indaga intorno a queste fondamentali questioni, con uno studio completo sugli Acheropiti di Cristo, di cui nessuno si era più fatto carico, in modo così sistematico, da oltre un secolo, dopo il monumentale lavoro di Ernst von Dobschütz. Una rigorosa analisi dei fondamenti teologici, accompagnata da un viaggio entusiasmante tra le avventure e i misteriosi intrecci di cui furono protagoniste queste sorprendenti icone, offre un quadro dettagliato sul tema e restituisce agli Acheropiti di Cristo il fondamento teologico-dogmatico di cui godono nell’ambito del cristianesimo ortodosso. Dalle pagine emerge il confronto tra le prospettive teologiche e artistiche di Oriente ed Occidente sugli Acheropiti di Cristo e, più in generale, sulle icone e la teologia tutta.
