As with all work on the Orthodox church written for the non-Orthodox, it's a bit annoying that McGuckin (which is surely the least 'Orthodox Christian' name imaginable, which delights me) spends so much time on pre-split Christianity. Yes, I know, the first millennium is part of Orthodox history just as it is a part of Western Christian history. But it's the same history. I hope the next person to write a history like this for the general reader just starts it at the split. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
An insider’s account of the Eastern Orthodox Church, from its beginning in the era of Jesus and the Apostles to the modern age In this short, accessible account of the Eastern Orthodox Church, John McGuckin begins by tackling the question “What is the Church?” His answer is a clear, historically and theologically rooted portrait of what the Church is for Orthodox Christianity and how it differs from Western Christians’ expectations. McGuckin explores the lived faith of generations, including sketches of some of the most important theological themes and individual personalities of the ancient and modern Church. He interweaves a personal approach throughout, offering to readers the experience of what it is like to enter an Orthodox church and witness its liturgy. In this astute and insightful book, he grapples with the reasons why many Western historians and societies have overlooked Orthodox Christianity and provides an important introduction to the Orthodox Church and the Eastern Christian World.
