Eastern Orthodoxy Through Western Eyes

In light of orthodoxy's growing presence on the religious scene in Britain and North America, this book introduces the eastern orthodox vision to western Christians by examining orthodox theology and worship. The three parts of the book deal with tradition as the source of the orthodox vision; union with God as the heart of that vision; and distortions of the vision. The book also alerts the reader to the cultural and historical factors that influence the way any person or group understands their faith.
