Not what I thought

Revisado: 05-21-24

this book is more about the fluid sexuality of women through the ages than anything else. I heard more about how women used their genitals than anything else.

Attention Ortho Bros

Revisado: 06-16-21

Presbytera Theologian Eugenia Scarvelis Constantinou explains what the Orthodox Phronema is and what it is not. This book should be read by as many Orthodox Christians and catechumens as possible. Especially if you interact online with the non Orthodox. She speaks with motherly wisdom and the authority of one who knows from long experience and training that which she speaks. Ortho Bros and gals would do well to head her admonitions. She definitely corrected me.

Time to grow up into the Psalms. Let C.S. Lewis be your guide. You will not be disappointed.

Heartbreaking

Revisado: 10-30-20

This book was very well researched and if you finish it you will not be able to think of the Catholic Church the same way again. The author does a tremendous job shedding light on the Vaticans closet and it’s extreme hypocrisy. He diagnoses the problems in the Vatican from an insiders perspective. He had an unusual level of access to high ranking officials within the Holy See. He exposes rank corruption at the highest levels as well as the worst sins of Princes or “Queens” of the Church.

Sadly the author is a militant homosexual and this colors almost the entire book. Anyone who is to the right of him is an extremist or “far right”. He attempts to marginalize traditional Catholics and other Christians this way. He is a textbook bigot, in the classical sense. The sad thing is that he doesn’t see it. The sees the world through the lenses of his sexuality. He freely admits his ignorance of the Bible and for that matter the Christian faith. He idolizes sexuality and it prevents him from truly understanding the religion that built Western Civilization. He is self impoverished in the truest sense.

Very helpful

Revisado: 05-30-20

This book is really for catechumens or people inquiring into the Orthodox Church. It is well written and supported contrary to what another reviewer wrote. It will not satisfy cynics because that's not who the book was written for. It does explain Orthodox worship quite well at a popular level. check it out.

Reaffirming!

Revisado: 04-18-19

I am an Eastern Orthodox Christian who converted from Protestantism years ago. This was the book I needed when I was struggling with what the Church believes regarding Mary. Granted the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches do not see exactly eye to eye on every doctrine regarding Mary. Particularly with regards to how our respective Churches understand her sinlessnes which we both affirm, but articulate differently. I appreciate the Authors respect for the Eastern Church Fathers whom he quotes multiple times. This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand Jewish and biblical roots of Marian dogmas. The authors is a first rate scholar and his historical and biblical exegesis is top notch. The best part of all is that he brings it down to a layman's level. That is what the best scholars are able to do and he does it. So whether you are struggling with the Churches teaching about Mary or know some who is, this book is a must. Check it out.

Splendid

As a student of Scripture and St. Paul in particular I am greatful for N.T. Wright's work on St. Paul the Apostle. This book a makes the Authors previous work on the subject even more accessible to the lay reader.
