Synopsis

"The book . . . is a superb presentation of the faith, history, and practice of the Greek Orthodox Church that is comprehensive and readable. It is a book that should be in the religious section of every library." Choice "Addressed to the nonspecialist, as for example undergraduate college students, the book would be ideal reading for a Roman Catholic preparing for marriage with a Greek Orthodox. One would hope too that this title would be assigned as required reading in Catholic seminaries . . . Constantelos holds our attention as an experienced pedagogue." Emmanuel "The most readable and instructive monograph on the Greek Orthodox Church and faith to appear in many years . . . an honest appraisal by one who knows whereof he speaks. Recommended for anyone wanting sound information on Greek Orthodoxy and the Greek Church." Religious Studies Review "Most thought-provoking is his analysis of the formative infl uence of Greek thought on early Christianity . . . readers interested in the meaning and influence of this . . . church will find the book fascinating."
