Andreas Andreopoulos is recognized throughout the world as one of the most eloquent young scholars of Christianity. He earned his Ph.D. in theology at the University of Durham and has taught in Toronto, Montreal and Philadelphia. He is currently Lecturer of Christian Theology at the University of Wales.
“This book is a little masterpiece: it informs and it explores, it
recounts history and it provokes a religious quest. It is a
personal book, yet it explores the great questions of theology; it
is full of learning, but not ponderous; it is written from the
perspective of faith, but is not off-putting to the inquirer.”
—Thomas O’Loughlin, Professor of Historical
Theology, University of Wales Lampeter
“Andreopoulos explains the gesture and meaning and history of why
Christianity has needed symbols and signs through the ages.
Throughout, his writing is as inspiriting as a restorative
benediction.” —ALA Booklist
“The book succeeds at translating the significance of the sign of
the Cross into something personal and immediate.” —Publishers
Weekly
“The Christian of today grows quickly from the innocent child into
adulthood and demands understanding of any simple behavior. ‘Why to
sign with the crossing? Where did this practice begin? When and
how?’ Andreas Andreopoulos, with his book, helps to answer these
questions…. [H]e immerses us into the illuminating obscurity of the
Holy Tradition.” —Protopresbyter Kyrillos
Leret-Aldir, Orthodox Christian Comment
