The Life: The Orthodox Doctrine of Salvation (Faith Series)2 reviews
Clark Carlton

Regina Orthodox Press, 2001

perhaps the best concise introduction to Orthodox Christianity for Westerners

+ A Primer on Orthdoxy

For me, nine-tenths of the value of this book is in its chapter on Satisfactionism. Anselm of Canterbury's understanding of Christ's work of salvation, elucidated in his essay Cur Deus Homo (Why God Became Man) at almost exactly the time of the Latin See's Great Schism with the four Eastern ...

A humble giant

St. Silouan is a man of our times. He was Russian by birth, but spent the majority of his life on Mount Athos. St. Silouan's teachings are radical, but totally Christ-centered. His treatises on love of fellow man, love for one's enemies and love for all of creation are awe-inspiring. While ...

Mr. Whelton's book is a good read for those considering both Roman Catholicism and eastern Orthodoxy, one of the few books targeted at this audience. It traces his disenchantment with Roman Catholicism, to which he converted. The book is not antagonistic towards the RCC. In fact, it took him many ...
