The Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology (Cambridge Companions to Religion)

I haven’t read it yet but looking at the table of contents it looks like it is a very thorough book when discussing the topics.

The Orthodox East takes pride in its ancient roots. The Cambridge Companion to Orthodox Christian Theology is a masterful collection of papers by top Orthodox scholars that presents ancient theological formulations and insights in fresh ways easily accessible to modern minds and relevant to modern sensibilities. A brilliant and indispensable "companion."

This book covers the subject fairly comprehensively and well written. I often wondered how the Eastern Church differed from the Western. The book meet my expectations.

The selections of writings are diverse and indepth. It's a great book for anyone looking to learn more about the orthodox faith.

This volume is highly recommended for a crash course in committed Orthodoxy,but you'll want to take it slow. The reason for taking it slow isn't becauseit's too dense or dry -- rather, it's so rich that you need to savor it.The only reason I've knocked off a star is because there's no chapter on theplace of the Theotokos and all the saints in Holy Orthodoxy (although of coursethe saints are mentioned in many of the chapters). Also, I found the chapteron the spiritual way to be the weakest, which is too bad, because there is nothingcomparable to the depth of Orthodox spirituality (although the list provided forfurther reading ensures that readers will find the path if they pursue it). Someof the strongest chapters are by Sister Nonna on the human person as image andlikeness of God and by Father Andrew Louth on the patristic revival...Read this whenyou're ready for comprehensive nourishment for your journey in the Church -- and God bless!
