Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Eastern Orthodox Church leaders celebrate and explain the nuances of their faith in Eastern Orthodox Theology, a collection of readings for those who wish to better understand key aspects of the Orthodox faith, such as liturgy and sacraments, tradition, the mystical encounter between person and God, and relations with other branches of the church. In this new edition, two new articles have been added to update the section on Orthodoxy's relationship with the West. Articles from Timothy Weber (the only non-Orthodox contribution) and Bradley Nassif address the growing interface between the evangelical and Orthodox traditions.


From the Back Cover

Daniel B. Clendenin (Ph.D., Drew University) works with Intervarsity Graduate and Faculty Ministries at Stanford University. He previously served as visiting professor of Christian studies at Moscow State University.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Selection, Eminently Readable, January 17, 2000
By A Customer
First I must note that I am not Orthodox, and neither is the book's editor. So I can't begin to guess whether this book is fair representation of Orthodox thinking. I happen to know that some of the authors and opinions are controversial in Orthodox circles. But I think the book is great. The selections are very well written and cover a broad variety of topics, including most of those of particular concern to Protestants, such as icons, saints, deification, and ecumenical relations. The introductions to each essay provide just enough information to get the reader oriented without intruding on the content. I have rarely enjoyed a thelogical book so much. The essays by Lossky alone are worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Orthodox Theology - as Worship, as Tradition, as Encounters, and as Mission, February 9, 2006
By Gabriel E. Borlean (San Jose - Capital of Silicon Valley, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Excellent companion to Daniel B. Clendenin's other book about Orthodoxy - "Eastern Orthodox Christianity: A Western Perspective."

This book in comparison to its companion, is a compilation of contemporary Orthodox theologians' writings on such topics as:
* liturgy and sacraments,
* tradition,
* the mystical encounter between person and God, and
* relations with the other branches of the church.

One will be pleasantly surprised to read biographical information on theologians such as Kallistos Ware, Vladimir Lossky, Alexander Schmemann and others and also read their thoughts on Orthodox living theology.

This book is written for all Christians, but primarily for Protestants and Eastern Orthodox believers. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of essays on orthodox thought, June 12, 2002
This book was my first-ever purchase from Amazon.com 4 years ago. Although not a member of the Orthodox church, I pay some attention to theology and was interested in learning what the Orthodox had to say. I found this an excellent introduction to Orthodox doctrines, covering everything from the importance of the liturgy to the role of sacraments and Orthodox stances on the nature of God and ecumenicism. The anonymous reader from Northern California states that some of these articles are controversial; regrettably, I don't have information on that. Perhaps it is hard to avoid controversy in modern theology. In any case, if you're interested in the title subject, this is a good starting point.
