Description: Eastern Orthodox Church : Its Thought and Life, Paperback by Benz, Ernst, ISBN 0202362981, ISBN-13 9780202362984, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Although it represents the beliefs of millions around the world, Orthodoxy is a mystery to the majority of Christians. Here Benz (late ecclesiastical and dogmatic history, Philipp U. of Marburg on the Lahn), one of the most distinguished contemporary German theologians and perhaps the leading Western authority on Eastern Orthodoxy explains its practices and doctrines. He escapes the traditional pitfall of comparing Orthodoxy to Roman Catholicism by focusing on icon painting, finding within the richness of that genre unique tenets of faith and the role and image of Jesus Christ. As he explores the teachings of Orthodox icons he also explains the liturgy and sacraments, dogma, the constitution and rule of the Orthodox Church, the structure of Church life (national, schismatic and immigrant), missionary work, Orthodox culture, ethical and political concerns, and the relationships amongst Rome, Byzantium and Moscow.
