## Overview

Timothy Ware’s 'The Orthodox Church' is the definitive introduction to Eastern Christianity, offering a clear, updated exploration of Orthodox beliefs and practices. Celebrated for over 50 years, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the Orthodox tradition’s role in Christian history and ecumenical dialogue.

## Description

'Orthodoxy claims to be universal . . .' 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.

its been most useful

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good thorough exegesis ....but genuine interest in reading, or the specific subject, is required!
*by R***T on 20 November 2015*

A very thorough book that delves deeply into the subject matter. As expected, the Bishop is obviously highly educated and very knowledgable in the subject, this clearly comes across in the book. He has evidently worked hard at condensing what is a very comprehensive topic area into a very readable paperback without doing an injustice to the church and its history. Due to the author's credentials I would imagine the book is unrivalled in its field. However, for those with only a superficial interest in the topic the book may be a rather little too dense, dry and monotonous, it is not really light reading and I found myself getting a little bored at times, as admittedly, I am more interested in orthodox theology and praxis rather than church history. Hence why my title. It would be shame not to complete what is a very insightful book. If you have any reservations you may wish to consider the author's other book 'the Orthodox Way' as an alternative, or as a precursor to this book, a book that goes far deeper into the subjects of history, theology and praxis, splits and the effects of persecution under Communism. The book also provides a very good clear explanation of theosis, the orthodox understanding of the very purpose of all of our lives. The Orthodox Church is significantly more developed and complete in its understanding of this particular theological concept, than is found anywhere in the West. The book, although primarily aimed at lay readers, is nonetheless sufficiently academic to be able to make a very credible contribution to any theology degree course.
