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.

Excellent product.
In "The Orthodox Church," Timothy Ware offers a fascinating and erudite introduction to one of the oldest and most influential Christian traditions in the world. Drawing on his deep knowledge of Orthodox history, theology, and practice, Ware guides readers on a journey of discovery through the rich and diverse tapestry of Orthodox thought and culture. His lucid and engaging prose makes even the most complex theological concepts accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels of familiarity with Orthodoxy. The book is a treasure trove of information, covering everything from the liturgy and sacraments to the role of icons in Orthodox worship. But it is not just a dry academic treatise; throughout the book, Ware conveys a deep sense of reverence and love for the Orthodox Church, which is contagious and inspiring. Whether you're a scholar of religion or simply curious about this ancient and vibrant faith, "The Orthodox Church" is an essential read. The book came to me in perfect, flawless and intact condition. This is an original Penguin Publisher's book printed and bound in Great Britain. I am very much satisfied with this product. Thank you very much the seller and Amazon.

A must
This book is a must for anyone who wishes to learn about Orthodoxy. However it only covers the Eastern Orthodox Churches and not the Oriental Orthodox Churches.

Informative content, ruined by miniscule print size
Reducing the size of the print presumably made the book cheaper to publish, but it has ruined the reading experience. I hate leaving a book unfinished, but I doubt I'll plough all the way through this.
