The Orthodox Faith
Gelesen von Jonathan Lange
Saint John Of Damascus
(4,674 Sterne; 66 Bewertungen)
The Orthodox Faith is the classic epitome of the Early Greek Fathers. Writing just before the last of the truly Ecumenical Councils (787), he remains to this day, the last of the Eastern theologians whole-heartedly received by the West. This work, then, is an ecumenical touchstone that remains authoritative in Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism (through Peter Lombard's Sentances) and in all Reformation Churches interested in purging late medieval accretions and returning to the developed orthodoxy of Creedal Christianity.

I was not the best student in school. As an adult I crave knowledge but I spend my day driving. I am not content to know what I know because I've been taught in school or church my whole life. I want to know about church history and theology from Athanasius and Basil. I want to learn about Greek history and mythology from Herodotus and Homer. I want to learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from Einstein. It's what I call source text. I listen to it all day long every day when I'm working. Keep the source text coming so I can read with my ears while work.
Excellent Reader!

Amazing explanation of many theological topics. I will listen multiple times just so I can grasp what I can. Although I listened through and through, the depth of St John's wisdom is like a vast ocean which bends over the horizon of my mind
Valuable Work
