Customer Reviews

A lutheran remembers the forgotten East.

When someone from the United States thinks about Christianity, it usually concerns the evangelical type or maybe ROman Catholicism. Rarely does one think about the Eastern ORthdox tradition. Tobias' account of his own experience of Orthodoxy in Europe sheds much needed light upon the eastern roots of CHristianity. Mostly anecdotal, this short book (125 pages) illumines the heart and mind by bringing the reader into the living tradition of the east, with all of its prayers, icons, incense, and sobriety. A very warm account and highly recommended for anyone interested in the Eastern Orthodoxy, but especially for Lutherans. Please see my other reviews for other relevant books with a Lutheran-Orthodox bent. Enjoy!
