Dear B-Greekers,
I found the following excerpt on the site of the Christian Classics Ethereal
Library (Extracts from the Acts of the Seventh Ecumenical Council, Session
I,Labbe and Cossart, Concilia, Tom. VII., col. 53.):
"John, the most reverend bishop and legate of the Eastern high priests
said: This heresy is the worst of all heresies. Woe to the iconoclasts! It is
the worst of heresies, as it subverts the incarnation (oikonomian) of our
Saviour."
I don't have access to the Greek text, but I wonder whether the translation
"incarnation" for "oikonomia" is usual and I would
appreciate if someone could suggest an alternative translation.
Thanks,
