good introduction to Orthodoxy

This book, written by a russian lay theologian, introduces Orthodoxy, as lived and practiced in ancient centuries, to modern man. It is a good introduction to the ancient orthodox christian faith. The author describes well the idea of interiorized monasticism. As an Orthodox, what I did not like about this book are the somehow comprimising ideas of Edokimov with western philosophers and scholars.

beautiful look at Christian spirituality thru history

As co-translator of this book, an Evdokimov scholar and Orthodox priest, it's a joy to share the insight of this lay theologian of our time. This is a challenging,rich journey through our century's crisis of faith,Christian spirituality's development,especially monasticism's gifts, and how authentic spiritual life can be lived today.
