Review:
"This book will be a revelation to those unfamiliar with orthodoxy, and can serve as an excellent introduction. For those already familiar with the general scope of modern orthodox theology, this will be an essential work distinguishing and comparing the variety of orthodox theologians. Highly recommended!"--Clint Schnekloth, Lutheran Confessions, October 26, 2015
"This is a most thorough, very accessible, and fascinating overview of modern Orthodox theology, with very helpful presentation as well as commentary by the author. It will become the standard text in courses on the Eastern Church and its thought for years to come."--Michael Plekon, Cistercian Studies Quarterly, 51.3, 2016
"This book is much more than an encyclopaedic survey. It is a gateway to various thinkers whose books and articles are not easy reading. It makes texts and authors accessible which were originally not easily available in English. Worth mentioning again, is the experiential awareness of the way in which Orthodox theology is done and fosters a sense of intimacy in the way Louth presents particular thinkers."--Zdenko S. Sirka, Journal of Reformed Theology 11 (2017)
