Product Description
Review
'This is a remarkable book - as remarkable for the wide scope of its articles as for their quality.' The Messenger
'This book can be read in many ways - as a summary of themes and movements, as a history of theological development, as a devotional meditation, and also as a piece of creative theological thinking in its own right.' Journal of Theological Studies
'… an impressive collection of essays in the long tradition of the Cambridge Companions to Religion. Well worth adding to any library which has collections in this field and, especially the paperback edition, easily accessible for the bookshelves of individual scholars.' Reference Reviews
'This book is truly what it sets out to be: a very useful 'companion' to Orthodox studies … It is refreshing and uncommon to see a useful and important resource on Orthodox Christian theology edited by two Western Orthodox women scholars; Cambridge University Press should be congratulated for entrusting the task to their competent hands.' Theology
'This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the contemporary situation of Orthodox life and theology today.' The Expository Times

Reading it is like reading many books in one...
11 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
This volume is highly recommended for a crash course in committed Orthodoxy,
but you'll want to take it slow. The reason for taking it slow isn't because
it's too dense or dry -- rather, it's so rich that you need to savor it.
The only reason I've knocked off a star is because there's no chapter on the
place of the Theotokos and all the saints in Holy Orthodoxy (although of course
the saints are mentioned in many of the chapters). Also, I found the chapter
on the spiritual way to be the weakest, which is too bad, because there is nothing
comparable to the depth of Orthodox spirituality (although the list provided for
further reading ensures that readers will find the path if they pursue it). Some
of the strongest chapters are by Sister Nonna on the human person as image and
likeness of God and by Father Andrew Louth on the patristic revival...Read this when
you're ready for comprehensive nourishment for your journey in the Church -- and God bless!
