These councils not only defined Trinitarian and Christological dogma in terms which ever since have been regarded as normative by the major Christian confessions of East and West. They also laid down canons and disciplinary decrees which constitute a milestone in the history of church order, signalling as they do a shift from the multifarious customary law of earlier centuries to a written law universally applicable throughout the Church. But these ancient canons have more than merely historical interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir continuing influence can still be felt in the modern codifications of the Roman Catholic Church and elsewhere among Western Christians. For the Orthodox East, however, their importance is even greater.

What was the intention of their authors, the fathers of those councils? With the present work, His Eminence Archbishop Peter (L'Huillier) has given the English-speaking world authoritative answers to such questions. After providing an historical overview of each of the four councils, he meticulously examines their canons one by one. He translates them into clear and readable English on the basis of the best modern critical editions; he explains the sometimes ambiguous terminology of the original texts; he explorers the historical circumstances which gave rise to these canons in the first place; and he also indicates some of the ways in which they have been reinterpreted (and sometimes misinterpreted) in later centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe author does not claim to give answers to all the questions which we today might wish that the ancient canons addressed.

The result is not an abstract presentation of 'Orthodoxy,' an outside look at, or description of, its dogmatics, rituals, and ascetic disciplines, compared to and contrasted with others, but an invitation to enter into the way, to begin the journey—and to do so always, into eternity—into the mystery of God through the living experience of the Orthodox Church.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eAs Metropolitan Kallistos often points out, just as undertaking a journey into an unfamiliar land or climbing a mountain requires an experienced and knowledgeable guide, so also an experienced and trusted spiritual guide, a mystagogue, is needed for the spiritual journey, to ascend Mount Sinai and encounter the mysterious God in its darkness, and to climb Mount Tabor and behold the mystery of the transfigured Lord, and to be initiated into the mysteries of the Jerusalem above, our Mother, the Church.

Unless a person is extraordinarily familiar with all the rest of Holy Scripture, understanding very much of the Book of Revelation will be an extremely arduous task. Since the book’s arcane symbolism is so rich and subtle, Christian humility will especially prompt the devout reader to be more than usually careful and tentative in his study of it, bearing in mind that the book’s purpose is not to satisfy our curiosity about the end times (inasmuch as not even the angels in heaven—and therefore certainly no one on earth—truly know the day and hour, as our Lord insisted in the Gospels) but to summon our ongoing repentance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eFr Patrick Henry Reardon argues that the Book of Revelation is “liturgical prophecy.” Like the prophets of old, it is not a work of theological abstraction, but grounded in particular historical realities: it is only timeless by being timely. Revelation conveys the call to repentance in all times with equal immediacy. Likewise, the Apocalypse is liturgical. The vision begins during the Sunday liturgy, and it conveys the profound meaning of Christian worship. When Christians gather together in the liturgy, they do not escape from the painful history of the world. On the contrary, they go to the very source of that history, the eternal throne of God. Surrounded by the seeming chaos of the world and the events of men, threatened by social and political forces dominated by the direction of hell, Christians are strengthened by John’s vision of their worship being assumed into the very worship that takes place before God’s throne.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

But there is still hope. As Engelhardt argues, “In this culture, children now grow up apart from and defended against a recognition of the God Who lives. They are nurtured in a social fabric that is structured so as to avoid a recognition of, much less an encounter with, God. Nevertheless… a traditional Christianity has endured, even though its morality and bioethics have become ever more strongly counter-cultural. The source of this traditional Christian otherness over against the surrounding post-theistic culture lies in the origins of Christianity itself, in the Christianity of the Apostles and the Fathers, namely, in Orthodox Christianity. Against the tenor of the times, disregarding the animus to set traditional Christianity aside, and despite heretics prominent within its fold, Orthodox Christianity remains a light in a world after God.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eH.

Engelhardt confronts the enormity of the intellectual and cultural challenges we face, given powerful commitments in the Western world to acting as if God does not exist. From watershed changes in how the dominant secular cultural framework approaches sex, reproduction, physician assisted suicide, and marriage, to its anointing of secular bioethicists—who act like pseudo-priests in guiding patient care—and the legal establishment of fully post-Christian public policy, Engelhardt explores this all-encompassing, immanent displacement of transcendent concerns. As Professor Engelhardt concludes, ours is an age after God.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003eSKU:PB-WEREME\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block isbn\"\u003eISBN:978-0-88141-603-9\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block author\"\u003eAuthor:Alexander Men\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block translator\"\u003eTranslator:Alasdair MacNaughton\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block size\"\u003eSize:6x9\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block pages\"\u003ePages:352\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"St Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44541747396896,"sku":"PB-AFGOEN","price":69.63,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6260\/0736\/products\/AfterGod-Cover__96319.webp?v=1676500169"},{"product_id":"copy-of-after-god","title":"Churchianity vs Christianity","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-description\" class=\"tab-content is-active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe expression “churchianity” was coined by C.

Had it been barren, leafless, dead, Christ would not have condemned it. He might even have spoken a word of life and brought it into newness. But this tree stood there gloriously adorned with leaves, telling everyone around that that they could come up to it in order to find a harvest of ripe fruits. But there was nothing but leaves. The appearance was there; of reality, there was nothing.

Insisting that Christ entered Sheol as Conqueror and not as victim, the author depicts the Lord's descent as an event of cosmic significance opening the path to universal salvation. He also reveals Hades as a place of divine presence, a place where the spiritual fate of a person may still change.

There, Orthodox priests and lay people from Russia evangelized the Aleutian people by correlating traditional Orthodox Christian doctrine with the pre-Christian beliefs and customs of the Alaska natives. A collection of documents illustrating the spirituality and methodology of the Alaskan Orthodox missionaries comprises this volume, which contains many works never before published in English. Included among the many selections are: letters of the Monk Herman (St. Herman) to Simeon Yanovskii; Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven, by Bishop Innocent [Veniaminov] (St. Innocent); the diary of Aleut priest Iakov Netsvetov at Atka; and the Valaam Monastery's 1894 Report from Kodiak.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e About the Editor:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Archpriest Michael J.

2) the particular responsibilities of the Orthodox Church in the fields of education and mission; and 3) developments in Russia, where the Orthodox Church faces a state whose official ideology is atheism, but where millions remains faithful to the Church, attracting a model for today and a hope for the future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block\"\u003eSKU:PB-WIWOME\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block isbn\"\u003eISBN:978-0-881-41069-3\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block author\"\u003eAuthor:John Meyendorff\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block published\"\u003ePublished:1987\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block size\"\u003eSize:5.5x8.5\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-info-block pages\"\u003ePages:188\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"St Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44554605068576,"sku":"PB-WIWOME","price":41.36,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/6260\/0736\/products\/Witnesstotheworld_cover__78301.webp?v=1676657645"},{"product_id":"copy-of-winter-pascha-the","title":"Time of the Spirit, The","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"tab-description\" class=\"tab-content is-active\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-content is-active\" id=\"tab-description\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

It reveals some of the unfamiliar treasures to be found in the three great traditions of the Church: Roman Catholic, Orthodox and Anglican. Beginning in September with the creation of the world, the sequence of sacred time unfolds. In October the theme is the human person; later comes the cycle of Christ's incarnation, death and resurrection leading to Pentecost and the revelation of the Trinity; the book ends in August with the final glory of the age to come. Within each month some of the more important saints or their works are featured. This is a book that many will turn to as a source of inspiration and enjoyment, and an invaluable new resource for ministers, teachers and families.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe tradition of the Church is not so much a long line stretched out in time, as the gathering of time itself in which this anthology has been compiled.

Once icons were passed over by the art critics, or at most classified as popular art, although painters such as Matisse or Picasso went to Russia especially for the sake of studying this art. Most recently many books have been published on icon painting.

God became human for the elation and deification of Man. This deification becomes visible in the saints. The Byzantine theologian often sets the calling of an icon painter on an equal level with that of a priest. Devoted to the service of a more sublime reality, he exercises his objective duty the same way as the liturgical priest. The \"spiritual genuineness\" of the icon, the cryptic, almost sacral power to convince, is not alone due to accurate observation of the iconographic canon, but also the ascetic fervor of the painter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis work includes a very interesting section on the technique of icon painting followed by the main part of the book, in which both authors describe the most important types of icons.

To those who wonder how such claims can be advanced on behalf of the Jesus Prayer, and how it is that this particular way of praying continues to appeal so powerfully to contemporary Christians, Eastern and Western, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, this short book provides an answer. Starting with the veneration of the Holy Name in the Old and the New Testament, the author traces the gradual development of the Jesus Prayer first in Byzantium and then in the Slavic lands. He concludes with practical suggestions for its use today, showing how it is a prayer not only of the past but equally for the modern world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIndeed, there are good reasons to believe that the \"way of the name,\" as he calls it, is being followed by more Christians in our own day than ever before - a striking sign of hope in an age of anxiety.

Even after the fall of Constantinople in 1453, the influence of its culture, thought and institutions remained powerful, above all in the Orthodox Church. In this collection of essays, Fr John Meyendorff, one of the most prominent Orthodox historians and theologians of our day, delineates the many facets of this Byzantine legacy. After an initial survey of the Byzantine Church, he explores such varied subjects as Byzantine political ideology, spirituality and ecclesiology. He clearly demonstrates the significance of Byzantium not only for the history of Eastern Europe and the Near East, but for our own lives as well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFr John Meyendorff, a longtime professor and dean of St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, died in 1992.
