An overall good introduction to Eastern Orthodox Christianity. On the whole, recommended. The style is serious and at the same time easy to read, with light touches here and there. The author has presented the material in the context of a visit to an imaginary Orthodox parish, using descriptions of the building, clergy, and services as take-off points for discussions of main Orthodox beliefs and practices. This reviewer would make only minor points (for not giving it five stars). There are a few errors in citations of Bible verses (wrong verse number, for instance), and some very conservative, traditional Orthodox Christians would object to using the title "Saint" for various individuals in the Catholic West after the separation from the East. Nevertheless, the book can be recommended as a general introduction to eastern Christianity.
I don't say this very often, but this is probably one of the most well written books I have come across lately. Mathewes-Green knows how to inform without being overly pedantic, boring, or losing depth. The occasional bit of humor is also entertaining without losing overall seriousness (despite how corny her jokes may be; I thought most of them were pretty funny). She addresses some important concepts from the Orthodox perspective, as well as the theological differences and positions (East vs. West, baptism, Sunday worship, cultural aspects, etc.). I definitely feel more comfortable visiting the local Orthodox Church now after reading this book
This book is a very good starting point for an inquirer. It dispels and debunks a lot of the common misunderstandings that people of other Christian denominations may have encountered when looking at the Orthodox faith from the outside. It is a very gentle and non threatening...positive work, easy to read and understand. Reading this after attending Divine Liturgy over the years has given me a recognition, richness and understanding of the experience that I did not have previously. Highly recommend to non orthodox friends, family, or people who are just curious...or even to those Orthodox who have never received education about the traditions of the church. Wonderfully done.
This is one of the best crafted books I have read. For someone new to Orthodoxy, as am I, this book may be all you need to learn about the liturgy, history, and theology of the Faith. The author begins by describing the layout of an Orthodox church building, then leads you through the structure describing the parts of the church and the liturgical activities associated with each part. With each discussion, the author narrates the history and theology that is the foundation of that aspect of the liturgy. By the time you finish the book, you have a solid understanding of the liturgy, history, and theology of Orthodoxy. In addition tho the craftsmanship of the writing, the book is very personal and easy to read. When I attended my first Orthodox service, I felt comfortable knowing what was happening, why it was happening, and amazed that this is what happened in the early church services 1900 years ago.
I am not Greek Orthodox. Frederica is a wonderful and clear writer and she tackles several theological concepts that really helps clarify the GO stance on some key doctrines. She really helped me to understand Greek Orthodoxy as much as one can I suppose without actually becoming one. I would recommend this book for someone who would like to form an informed opinion on who they are and what they believe.
By going on an imaginary walk through an Orthodox temple, the reader is introduced to a wide variety of topics about the Faith in a natural way. Though not comprehensive, this book does a good job hitting most of the major cognitive questions that people might have when first experiencing the Orthodox Church, and in an easy to follow, conversational format. There are also short videos that have been released on YouTube that parallel some of what has been said within these pages. Overall, a nicely executed and tasteful evangelistic tool within the Orthodox Church.Caveat Emptor: As might be expected from the author (though surely written in all sincerity), she does introduce the topic of women's ordination and propose a discussion about it for 3/4 of a page. This would be confusing to a new person coming into Orthodoxy who perhaps may not be expecting such a deviation in doctrinal position from an Orthodox author.
A beautifully crafted introduction to Orthodox Christianity. The author sets out to teach us as though we were newcomers to a church community. By taking us into the church building she introduces us to the spirituality of the Eastern Church: icons as windows to heaven, the Divine Liturgy bridging our world to the next. But mostly she shows us that the ancient traditions still communicate and embrace and lead us to the unflagging love and mercy of God.
Extremely readable, engaging, enjoyable and challenging.As an Anglican who has attended the Divine Liturgy a few times in Russian, once in Finnish but with a Bulgarian choir, but only once in English, I found Mathewes-Greens' format to be helpful and accessible.The divergence in theological understanding between East and West (Roman, Anglican and Protestant) was presented in a very chatty way that didn't put up "straw men" to knock down or try to win points. Mother Frederica's aim to see the reader helped in their personal transformation in Christ was evident and permeated the whole book without clichés or being preachy.
