great intellectual presentation

Revisado: 01-06-22

the topics presented in this book need to be discussed more frequently. I think some people struggle to think outside of particular western paradigms of scholarship and need this type of presentation to challenge their contemporary presumptions. I appreciate the reminders in the book that these were communities of people with similar social, political, and personal issues and ideas and language morphology must consider these things in context to these.

fair review

Revisado: 10-08-21

a lot of people are critiquing this book as an academic book. this is not an academic book.
this book is more like a textbook with limited citations. much of what's presented is common knowledge to students of theology and history and language.

the book should encourage many to analyze the epistemology of their beliefs.

this is a light weight catechism

Revisado: 09-17-19

if you want a heavier catechism, which we all need periodically, check out Fr. Josiah Trenham's teaching.

innovative for it's time

Revisado: 07-15-19

this should be read from the time period in which it was written, it will be misunderstood otherwise. even for it's time it had sophomoric and exaggerated claims of utopian like qualities. moreover it has an emphasis on cooperation with the belief that the existing system was not birthed and maintained with the same cooperation that he romanticized about. I think this is interesting for it's historical value, but not a good strategy because people overall do not want or desire to live without personal property.

Comprehensive defense of Christianity

Revisado: 05-21-19

historians and theologians agree that Orthodoxy was and is the Faith passed down throughout the centuries, setting and maintaining the standard of what Christianity is. This book details the weaknesses and heresies found in Protestant groups, especially American types and why Protestants should question the origin and authenticity of what they believe. According to the author, these groups have reconstructed and reduced Christianity to a shadow. The main issue stemming from a reduction in understanding of Grace, leading to a reduction in Salvation, leading to anything goes Christianity abolishing the foundation delivered by the Apostles and Church Fathers. The author cites how the modern Protestant church groups lost their way setting aside ecumenical council and Canon aimed at protecting the laity and clergy from heresy and abuse.

Mary the prototype

Revisado: 04-17-19

as a Protestant I think it is to easy to ignore the truth about Mary and the Jewish roots of Christianity. Orthodoxy seems to be a bastion of faith holding up what Christ and the Apostles laid.

very subjective

Revisado: 03-26-19

Eckhart is awesome and helps you become aware. He has a hypothesis and bases a lot of information on his beliefs. This does not mean he is right or is steering you in the right direction. There is a right direction.
