Review: Awesome explanation of Orthodoxy's past, biblical perspective and usefulness for today - I enjoyed reading the Orthodox perspective on the earlier Eastern Church fathers whom I am studying for my dissertation. The author would not agree, but the theology of theosis of those Fathers was more of an analogy or a metaphor than the dogmatic doctrine of the Byzantine Eastern Orthodox Church. His explanation of the East/West split was the best explanation that I've ever read. His constant pointing out the usefulness of Orthodox theology for today is very helpful. As a whole, his book assisted in the writing of my dissertation proposal.
Review: Become - Easy to read and understand. This is a book any Christian should read if they want to understand what the first Christians believed.

Easy to read and understand. This is a book any Christian should read if they want to understand what the first Christians believed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Book on the Topic in English
*by M***. on August 27, 2015*

One of the blurbs on the back of this book says, "There is not a better book on this topic in English." I'm not qualified to say if that's true, but it's hard to imagine there being one. Meyendorff is clear, readable, and concise. The presentation of Byzantine Christianity historically followed by a systematic treatment of the major doctrinal distinctions of the East works really well. If, like me, you're interested in Eastern theology but don't have a lot of exposure, this is the book for you. It's both a great summary that stands on its own and a great introduction that opens doors up to further research and primary sources. Highly recommended!
