Through Western Eyes: Eastern Orthodoxy: A Reformed Perspective
Author: Robert Letham
Publisher: Christian Focus
ISBN: 9781845502478
Paperback, 319 pages
There are around 160 million Eastern Orthodox in the world today, making it a major religious force; and recent years have seen numerous high profile conversions from evangelicalism to the Orthodox fold. Yet the Orthodox Church seems so alien to Western Christianity and so difficult to understand. This is why Dr Letham’s new book is such an excellent resource. telling the story of Orthodoxy from the patristic era to the present, and offering clear theological exposition and critical interaction from a Reformed perspective, this is an excellent resource for Reformed Christians. Drawing on his vast knowledge of patristic and Orthodox sources, and writing with a lucid style and a charitable and honourable tone throughout, Dr Letham has produced an important and insightful book which shows where we can draw positive lessons from the Orthodox tradition and where we can learn from it even at those points where we must respectfully disagree. Highly recommended. - Carl R. Trueman, Professor of Historical Theology and Church History & Dean of Faculty, Westminster Theological Seminary
