Product Description

Product Description
Since its first publication thirty years ago, Timothy Ware’s book has become established throughout the English-speaking world as the standard introduction to the Orthodox Church. Orthodoxy continues to be a subject of enormous interest among Western Christians, and the author believes that an understanding of its standpoint is necessary before the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches can be reunited. He explains the Orthodox views on such widely ranging matters as ecumenical councils, sacraments, free will, purgatory, the papacy and the relation between the different Orthodox churches.

About the Author
Timothy Ware, His Excellency the Most Reverend Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, was Spalding Lecturer of Eastern Orthodox Studies at Oxford University until his retirement in 2001.

4.0 out of 5 stars An enriching insight into Eastern Christianity, 18 Feb 2000
By A Customer
I'm not an Eastern Orthodox Christian, but I nevertheless found this book an extremely interesting and helpful introduction to Orthodoxy. I knew virtually nothing about the subject prior to reading this book, and found the history fascinating.

This book has led me to read other books connected with Orthodoxy including "The Brothers Karamazov" and "Way of a Pilgrim", and to develop a greater interest and respect for the tradition of icons. The Jesus Prayer ("Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me") is a central part of Orthodox spirituality, and I have found this prayer an enriching addition to my spiritual life.

For a Christian, this is an essential read, as the Orthodox tradition is little-understood in the West and has a great deal to offer Western Christians. For non-Christians, this is a well written history of a Church which has had a long and at times very hard history, suffering under the Ottoman empire and then Communism.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to the Eastern Orthodox Church but, 27 Aug 2008
By E. Danielyan (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
unfortunately no coverage of the Oriental Orthodox Churches, which is a shame. The Oriental Orthodox Churches are as much part of the Universal Orthodox Church as the Eastern churches and it is a pity that otherwise readable and relevant book does not cover them.
