I must say that it is not for nothing that we Orthodox quite literally venerate the Gospels as the ‘written icon’ of Christ. They are, in fact, the heart of the Scriptures, and everything else either points to them, or flows from them.

I seem to remember one of those gospel writers saying something like, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God…” or something like that.The gospels are certainly the “written icon” of Christ, but so is the rest of the book. I’m not Orthodox (distinction from “unorthodox” intended because I may, in fact, be unorthodox), but I agree with Esteban.
