(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. 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). 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...”. ... a silver image of the hand was attached to the icon of the Theotokos... and this icon received the name "Three-Handed" (Troeruchitsa) Rev. Father John, pray to God for us.

Book excerpt: In AD 726, the Byzantine emperor ordered the destruction of all icons, or religious images, throughout the empire, and icons were subject to an imperial ban that was to last, with a brief remission, until AD 843. A defender of icons, St John of Damascus wrote three treatises against "those who attack the holy images." He differentiates between the veneration of icons, which is a matter of expressing honor, and idolatry, which is offering worship to something other than God.

Book excerpt: How did Islam come to be considered a Christian heresy? In this book, Peter Schadler outlines the intellectual background of the Christian Near East that led John, a Christian serving in the court of the caliph in Damascus, to categorize Islam as a heresy. Schadler shows that different uses of the term heresy persisted among Christians, and then demonstrates that John’s assessment of the beliefs and practices of Muslims has been mistakenly dismissed on assumptions he was highly biased. The practices and beliefs John ascribes to Islam have analogues in the Islamic tradition, proving that John may well represent an accurate picture of Islam as he knew it in the seventh and eighth centuries in Syria and Palestine.

Book excerpt: Much of the world today is convulsed in an epic struggle between the Christian West and Islam. Scholars seeking to understand the issues look back in history to unearth the roots of this conflict. Of great value in this effort are the writings of an eyewitness, a devoted Christian who served as chief financial officer of the Umayyad Empire and wrote at the time Islam was developing. John of Damascus (675-750) authored two major works, the Heresy of the Ishmaelites and the Disputation between a Christian and a Saracen, to provide an apologetic response to Islam from a Christian perspective. His writings shed light on many questions that are pertinent today: When was the Qur'an actually written? What was the role of the powerful caliph Abd al-Malik in the making of Muhammad? How did the theological issues related to the deity of Christ and the Trinity develop in the early days of Islam? This book delves into the life of John and studies his apologetic writings in detail, utilizing the first English translation from the critical text. It seeks to address these questions thoughtfully, provide valuable insights from the past, and then equip today's church as it engages with Islam.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perichoresis (mutual indwelling) is a concept used extensively in the so-called Trinitarian revival; and yet no book-length study in English exists probing how the term actually developed in the "classical period" of Christian doctrine and how it was carefully deployed in relation to Christian dogma. Consequently, perichoresis is often used in imprecise and even careless ways. This path-breaking study aims at placing our understanding of the term on firmer footing, clarifying its actual usage in relation to doctrines of God, Christ, and salvation in the thought of John of Damascus, the eighth-century theologian, monk, and hymn writer who gave it its historically influential application. Since John summed up a whole theological tradition, this work provides not only an introduction to his theological vision but also to the key themes of Greek patristic thought generally and thereby lays an essential foundation for those who would dig deeper into the present-day usefulness of perichoresis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is one of the most important and yet approachable works produced by Cyril. It was written after the Council of Ephesus (431) to explain his doctrine to an international audience. Cyril argues for the single divine subjectivity of Christ, and describes how it encompasses a full and authentic humanity in Jesus - a human experience that is not overwhelmed by the divine presence, but fostered and enhanced by it. Christology becomes then, for St Cyril, a paradigm for the transfigured and redeemed life of the Christian. There is an introduction to the historical and theological background of the time, of the text and to St Cyril himself.
