The Orthodox Church

An Introduction to Eastern Christianity

De: Timothy Ware

Narrado por: Jonah Martin

The understandable, deeply authoritative and bestselling book on the Orthodox Church, in a fully updated and revised Third Edition.

Since its first publication fifty years ago, Timothy Ware's book has become established throughout the English-speaking world as the standard introduction to the Orthodox Church. Orthodoxy continues to be a subject of enormous interest among western Christians, and the author believes that an understanding of its standpoint is necessary before the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches can be reunited. In this revised and updated edition he explains the Orthodox views on such widely ranging matters as Ecumenical Councils, Sacraments, Free Will, Purgatory, the Papacy and the relation between the different Orthodox Churches.

This audiobook is expertly read by Jonah Martin, with audio engineering by Blake Rook. It was produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

good overview

I think the book was mostly good. It dove into the historical portion of orthodox Christianity. A bit too long as someone who has read or listened to a few orthodox books. I was looking for something outside of historical revalency, and also how the church correlates with other churches and denominations still worth the listen, if this is possibly your first time diving into orthodoxy would be better if it was a bit shorter.
