The Orthodox Church
Book Review
Excellent introductory book to the Orthodox Church. It would likely be too much for a casual reader, but be enjoyable to those who like to study things. Timothy Ware gives lots of details and dynamics in his history. For those who come from western thought, he includes explanations which should help most grasp the reasons for difference. The first half of the book details the history of Orthodoxy, and the second the theology and practice. At the end, there is a "Further Reading" section that is a gold mine! This book will be a great reference for me for years to come.
I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
You never know what you will find in an attic! Usually there is a hodgepodge of things buried under dust.
Most of what is included here are notes to myself. The majority of folks will not find interest in these posts.
