| Summary: | The present paper distinguishes two features: truth and contextuality, manifested through three aspects within the Church: the texts (liturgical, biblical, patristic, synodical and canonical), the event-icon (icons, and the "Church herself as icon"), and particular ecclesial realities. The icon of the resurrection could be the example-model of a dialectical relationship between historical contextuality and the eschatological truth. Ecclesial canons and the canonical tradition of the Church are affected directly by the question of contextuality. In order to show the canons’ power of diachronicity, the present paper offers an examination of the case of canon 39 of the Quinisext Ecumenical Council (691). |
