Dancing Alone
by Frank Shaeffer
Schaeffer's pilgrimage to the Orthodox Church began in the 1970s as he observed spiritually bankrupt Protestant churches having little or no impact on the intensely secularized and pluralistic culture in which they operated. In Dancing Alone, Schaeffer shows how contemporary secularism grew out of Protestant pluralism and how the Protestant denominations and the Americanized modern Roman Catholic Church have departed from the Holy Tradition of the most ancient historical Christian church of all - the Orthodox Church.

How Are We Saved?
The Understanding of Salvation in the Orthodox
Tradition
by Bishop Kallistos Ware
An easy-to-read, easy-to-understand presentation of the Orthodox Christian
way of salvation based on Scripture, the early tradition of the ancient,
undivided Church, and the Church Fathers. In a day when there are so many
concepts of salvation floating about, it is refreshing to read a balanced
view of the many-splendored jewel of salvation as taught by the early Church.
Excellent for personal reading and study groups.

by Joseph J. Allen
The focal point of this study of ministry in the Church is service, the service of the whole people of God which is reflected most completely in the image of the Shepard. Drawing on Scriptural, patristic, especially from the writings of St Basil the Great, St Gregory Nazianzen and St John Chrysostom, historical and liturgical sources, Father Allen examines ministry in and to the community, the ministry to persons, and the ministry of the World.

On the Apostolic Preaching
by St Irenaeus
St Irenaeus is the most important theologian of the second century, laying the foundation for all future Christian thinkers. Irenaeus tells us that he had known Polycarp, who had himself known the apostles and been appointed by them as the bishop of the church of Smyma. This direct contact with the immediate successors of the apostles was of importance for Irenaeus in his later defense of Christian practice and teaching.

On the Holy Icons
by St Theodore the Studitis
To many modern Christians the question of icon veneration may seem a marginal issue in theology. To St Theodore the Studite, writing in the midst of the iconoclastic controversy of the eighth and ninth centuries, it was clear that iconoclasm is a serious error, which alienates its followers from God as much as any other heresy. That is to say, rejection of Christian veneration of images effectively denies God's incarnation, which alone makes human salvation possible. If Christ could not be portrayed, then He was not truly man, and humanity was not truly united with God in Him.

On the Soul and Resurrection

Three Treatises On The Divine Images
St. John of Damascus
Is all Christian art fundamentally blasphemous ? That was the question posed aggressively by the Christian iconoclasts of the eight century in a bitter controversy. The resounding answer 'No' from John of Damascus helped to secure the future of art in the service of Christ. Without his brilliant defense, both profound and at times earthly, we might well have had no icons, murals and mosaics in churches to elevate and enrich our spirits.
