Icon Veneration is CLEARLY an Accretion!

Here I give an overview of the Protestant concern about venerating icons, looking at its development in church history in three phases, and the Protestant biblical interpretation of that development.

Truth Unites is a mixture of apologetics and theology, with an irenic focus.

Gavin Ortlund (PhD, Fuller Theological Seminary) serves as senior pastor of First Baptist Church of Ojai.
