APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION, Fr. Gregory Rogers What does it mean for the Church to be called "apostolic?" Is there an unbroken chain of validly ordained leaders - an apostolic succession - running throughout the Church's two thousand year history? If so, what are the implications for believers living in the tragically fragmented Christian world of the late 20th century? In the pages of "Apostolic Succession," you will find answers to these questions and the summary of years of inquiry by a thoroughgoing Bible scholar and student of Church history. But do not be deceived! This is not a detached pedantic essay to be added to the dusty shelves of intellectual academia. Instead, it represents the hands-on research that helped chart the course of the Evangelical Orthodox Church, and the persoanl testimony of a Bible believing evangelical Protestant who examined the data and emerged an Orthodox believer. 42pp

BASIC ORTHODOXY: KEY WORDS OF FAITH, VOLUME I, Fr. Anthony M. Coniaris One of the effective ways by which one can arrive at an understanding of the Orthodox faith is through a study of the words it most often uses in its worship and theology. These words have developed through the centuries under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and have become like rich vessels containing the priceless treasure of our faith. The treatment of these key words of the Orthodox faith heeds a call from the "Orthodox Consultation on Preaching and Teaching the Christian Faith Today", that the saving truths of our faith constitute the bread of life for our people and must be conveyed to them in a digestible manner. This volume is a study of some of these key words.

It is a fine work that pays careful attention to the very real differences that separate Orthodoxy from Protestantism and, while nevertheless being written from a Protestant perspective, illumines the principal difference between Orthodox Christianity and Protestanism in a way that few books, even by Orthodox scholars, do.

EASTERN-RITE CATHOLICISM: ITS HERITAGE AND VOCATION, Robert F. Taft, S.J. A classic study of Eastern-rite Catholicism by a major scholar. With study-club questions. "I wrote this pamphlet as a seminarian, in 1962. When first published in 1963, in the Paulist Press Doctrinal Pamphlet Series, it was received with unexpected enthusiasm, and has been reprinted several times since. Thought out of print for some years now, it has retained its popularity, and I have received several requests to permit another printing. But much has happened since 1962, especially Vatican II and progress in ecumenical relations with the Orthodox Churches. And the author is much older and, hopefully, wiser than the seminarian of 1962. So I have hitherto resisted permitting a reprinting until I found time to revise and update the text. But that day is not yet in sight, and those who have urged that the pamphlet be made available again are convinced that the original redaction is still serviceable. So I have agreed to a limited reprinting of the origianl 1963 text, unchanged though I am as aware as my readers that much has changed since then." - Author's Preface to the 1988 Reprinting

THE EDUCATING ICON: TEACHING WISDOM AND HOLINESS IN THE ORTHODOX WAY, Anton C. Vrame Icons, central to the spiritual life of Orthodox Christians, recieve a refreshing new treatment in this groundbreaking work. The Educating Icon: Teaching Wisdom and Holiness in the Orthodox Way explores the role of the icon in transforming the atentive viewer into the likeness of God - and by extension, how a community may be transformed into an earthly manifestation of the kingdom of heaven. Vrame clearly, colorfully and dramatically reveals the visual and experiential teaching tradition of the Orthodox Christian faith, which emphasizes participation before explanation, i.e., experience that leads to understanding. He illustrates how this remarkably contemporary viewpoint, intrinsic to the ancient spiritual tradition reaching back to the Apostles, can be used to renew present day Christian education while remaining faithful to the living tradition of the church. This seminal work is indispensable for those who develop Christian education programs. 14 color plates. 216pp

FAITH FULFILLED: WHY ARE CHRISTIANS ACROSS GREAT BRITAIN EMBRACING ORTHODOXY (formerly entitled A True Light when published in the UK), Michael Harper Michael Harper, well known by many American Christians as a longtime leader in the evangelical and charismatic movements in the Church of England, now comes before us in a new role: as a convert to the Orthodox Church. Harper's lifelong devotion to the Anglican Church was first shaken when some of her priests and bishops began openly denying fundamental truths of the Christian faith, such as the Virgin birth and the Resurrection. As years passed and the situation deteriorated further, Harper and many orthodox Anglicans turned their eyes eastward - to the Orthodox Church. Whether you are an evangelical, a charismatic, a conservative Anglican or an inquirer into Orthodoxy, you will be informed and inspired by this story of one man's tireless quest for "A Faith Fulfilled."

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT: HOW ONE BECAME A CHRISTIAN IN THE EARLY CHURCH, Anne Field What did new converts learn about the Faith in the early centuries of Christianity? What is the true meaning of baptism and the Eucharist? What do the words of the Lord's Prayer mean? How were baptisms performed in the early Church? All these questions and more are answered in From Darkness to Light - not by any modern thinker's speculation, but by the early Fathers of the Church themselves, speaking through Anne Field's highly readable adaptation. Theologians and shepherds like John Chrysostom, Augustine, Ambrose, Cyril of Jerusalem, and Theodore of Mopsuesia speak to converts preparing for baptism on subjects such as commitment to Christ, the meaning of the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed, and what Scripture has to say about baptism and the Eucharist. This is in-depth, fundamental teaching which, unfortunately, many Christians today never receive. From Darkness to Light is a uniquely valuable historical resource for the beliefs and practices of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church in its early centuries of existence. But it is also a priceless aid for any Christian who wishes to come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of his or her own baptism and faith. 240pp

THE MYSTERY OF THE CHURCH: THE PILGRIMAGE OF AN ORTHODOX CONVERT, William Bush Writing both for the Orthodox and non-Orthodox, the author explains why, in spite of wide ethnic diversity, Orthodox Christians speak confidently of "the" Orthodox Church. This stimulating and informative presentation of Orthodoxy as the "right glory" of apostolic Christianity, still alive in the world today, is illuminated by pertinent examples from Orthodoxy's long, glorious, but often suffering history as the "Kingdom of the Holy Trinity" on earth. The author proposes that that the Holy Fathers' teaching that God is beyond human concepts applies equally to God's Church, its mystery being rooted also in the dual nature of Christ and the triune nature of God. Like holiness, the Church's mystery becomes a personal reality only through an on-going, ascetic love for Orthodoxy's liturgical life, whereby the believer gains an ever-deepening intimacy with Holy Scriptures and Holy Tradition as well as with Jesus Christ ans Lord and God.
