I often get asked the question, “What about the Orthodox Church, how is it different from the Evangelical Church?” So instead of trying to answer everyone individually I just decided to write a book about it!
The book is called-
Church, Tradition and Scripture Where does the Authority Hide?
You can buy my book on Amazon.com!
This is not a long boring theology book that will take you hours to read through. You will probably be able to read it in about 30 mins or so. It goes straight for the issues that matter without getting bogged down with less important things.
In the book you’ll find:
- A brief explanation of what Orthodoxy is
- Quotes from Orthodox theologians
- A Scriptural response to Orthodox teaching
- Practical ways to talk with Orthodox believers
I pray that the book will be a useful resource to help you think through your theology and how it affects your view of the church, traditions and Scripture.
Here is a little preview from the forward of my book.
Growing up the only thing I knew about the Orthodox Church was that their buildings had funny steeples on them. We didn’t have any Orthodox Churches in our small town. All I knew I gleaned from National Geographic magazine or from TV programs.
As a sophomore in high school I took a driver’s education course where I developed a small crush on a new girl in our school. She and her family had just moved from Alaska where they attended an Orthodox Church.
We had some interesting discussions about her faith and her church and when she invited me to visit her church I didn’t hesitate in taking her up on her offer. Here family attended a small church about 75 miles away called “Church of the Holy Trinity”. It was part of the Orthodox Church of America.
Everything was new to me including the use of liturgy, candles and burning of incense. Little did I know that God would later call me to live and minister in a country where the Orthodox Church was the dominant religion.
A few reasons you might want to get the book.
- It will give you a better understanding of why the Orthodox Church differs from evangelical churches
- It will explain some of the history of the Orthodox Church
- It will provide some ways to begin a conversation with an Orthodox believer
- It will help you better understand the importance of the authority of God’s Word
I really hope you’ll take a minute to down load the book while it’s free. There’s absolutely no catch, it’s simply a gift to you. It will only be available for free today and Sunday so take advantage of the opportunity and get it now.
