Publisher's Synopsis
The Eastern Orthodox Church presents many conundrums for those who are seeking to assess its theology. Although there is much within their rich Patristic heritage that is a cause for appreciation, the present book seeks to provide a critical analysis of certain of its core canonical claims, especially as these relate to iconology, Mariology, and ecclesiology. The contents of this book by a former Eastern Orthodox priest will help provide the reader with tools to get past superficial assessments in order to penetrate where the real problems within the Eastern Orthodox Church reside.
"This book is insightful and well-argued, and will help readers appreciate how Protestantism protects the purity of the gospel of Christ."
-Rev. Gavin Ortlund, PhD, author of Why Protestantism Makes Sense: The Case for an Always Reforming Church
"An eye-opening exposition of Eastern Orthodoxy. A must read for all who love the Gospel of God's grace."
-Rev. Tony Costa, PhD, Toronto Baptist Seminary, author of Worship and the Risen Jesus in the Pauline Letters
"I wish I had this book years ago!"
-Rev. Michael Preciado, PhD, author of A Reformed View of Freedom
