Welcome to the Orthodox Church: An Introduction to Eastern Christianity -NEW

Description: Welcome to the Orthodox Church: An Introduction to Eastern Christianity by Frederica Mathewes-Green Welcome to the Orthodox Church; There are other introductory books about Orthodoxy, but this friendly guide provides a comprehensive introduction to Orthodoxy: covering the history, theology, worship, spirituality, practice, and daily life ...but with a twist: readers learn by making a series of visits to a fictitious church, and get to know the faith as "new Christians" did for most of history, by immersion. Mathewes-Green provides commentary and explanations on everything from how to “venerate” an icon, to the Orthodox understanding of the atonement, to the Lenten significance of tofu. It’s the perfect book for inquirers and newcomers, but even readers who have been Orthodox all their lives say they learned things they never knew before. Inviting rather than argumentative, this is a book Orthodox Christians will be giving to their friends. Enjoyable, easy-to-read, and leavened with humor, Welcome to the Orthodox Church is a gracious guide to the ancient faith of the Christian East.
