Historia
Many Christians today divide ancient Jewish and Christian literature into two categories: what is in the Bible and what is not. The Christian East, however, has traditionally described a third category considered beneficial for Christians to listen to in the home: “apocrypha.” These texts, from the centuries before and after the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—beyond even the larger canons of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Old Testaments—reveal to us the religious world and theological framework of the apostles and early Church Fathers.

Historia
Over the centuries since the Great Schism between the Eastern and Western Churches, the two groups have diverged to the point that they often no longer understand each other’s vocabulary, let alone the fundamental concepts on which each faith is built. Know the Faith is an attempt to present Orthodox Christianity in a way Western Christians can understand, grounding each point in Scripture and patristic theology, with comparisons to what Catholics and Protestants believe.

Historia
The gospel of Jesus Christ is not about what Jesus can do for your life. It is not even the answer to the question, “How can I be saved?” It is the declaration of a victory. In his coming to earth, his suffering, and his Resurrection, Christ conquered demons, sin, and death. In Arise, O God, author and podcaster Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick introduces us to the spiritual war that Christ won by his victory, how we are caught in that war’s cosmic crossfire, what the true content of the gospel is—and how we are to respond.

For Protestants or Catholics seeking to understand Eastern Orthodoxy, the Cross is a good place to start. In the West a multitude of different views sprang up over the last millennium, but Orthodox Christian beliefs have remained unchanged. The contrast between those views is suggested by the two images on the book's cover, showing how differently the meaning of the Cross was understood, East and West.

St. Ignatius, first-century Bishop of Antioch, called the “God-bearer”, is one of the earliest witnesses to the truth of Christ and the nature of the Christian life. Tradition tells us that as a small child, Ignatius was singled out by Jesus himself as an example of the childlike faith all Christians must possess. In Bearing God, Father Andrew Damick recounts the life of this great pastor, martyr, and saint, and interprets for the modern listener five major themes in the pastoral letters he wrote.

What does it mean to "think Orthodox"? What are the unspoken and unexplored premises and presumptions underlying what Christians believe? Orthodox Christianity is based on preserving the mind of the early Church, its phronema. Dr. Jeannie Constantinou brings her more than 40 years' experience as a professor, Bible teacher, and speaker to bear in explaining what the Orthodox phronema is, how it can be acquired, and how that phronema is expressed in true Orthodox theology.

Speaking to non-believers and believers alike, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick attempts to create a sacred space in which we can encounter God. In this compact volume, he distills the essence of the traditional Christian faith, addressing the fundamental mysteries of where God is, who God is, why we go to church, and why Christian morality matters. If you’ve only heard about the Protestant or Roman Catholic version of Christianity, what he has to say may surprise you—and make you long to encounter God in Jesus Christ.

Violence in the Old Testament has long been a stumbling block for Christians and skeptics alike. God Is a Man of War offers a fresh interpretation of Old Testament accounts of violence, by exploring them through the twofold lens of Orthodox tradition and historical context. Father Stephen De Young examines what these difficult passages reveal about the nature of Christ and His creation, bearing witness to a world filled not only with pain and suffering - often of human making - but also with the love of God.

Welcome to the Orthodox Church - its history, theology, worship, spirituality, and daily life. This friendly guide provides a comprehensive introduction to Orthodoxy, but with a twist: listeners learn by making a series of visits to a fictitious church, and get to know the faith as new Christians did for most of history, by immersion. Mathews-Green provides commentary and explanations on everything from how to "venerate" an icon, the Orthodox understanding of the atonement, to the Lenten significance of tofu.

In this classic book, John of Damascus laboured to form one complete, clear, and brief theological work that would summarize all Christian doctrine that had been passed down and agreed upon. The following was said of the book: The result was an inexhaustible storehouse of tradition in which nothing is to be found that has not been either approved by the ecumenical synods or by the established leaders of the Church.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Christ are central events in our salvation. Yet few Christians have a good grasp of the first-century historical and religious context in which the crucifixion took place, nor of its true significance for the people of that time - and hence for our time as well. Biblical scholar and attorney Dr. Jeannie Constantinou puts modern listeners in the center of the events of Christ's Passion, bringing the best of modern scholarship to bear while keeping her interpretation faithful in every particular to the Orthodox tradition.

The Age of Paradise is the first of a projected four-volume history of Christendom, a civilization with a supporting culture that gave rise to what we now call the West. At a time of renewed interest in the future of Western culture, author John Strickland—an Orthodox scholar, professor, and priest—offers a vision rooted in the deep past of the first millennium. At the heart of his story is the early Church’s “culture of paradise”, an experience of the world in which the kingdom of heaven was tangible and familiar.

Resumen del Editor
Are you an Orthodox Christian who wonders how to explain to your Baptist grandmother, your Buddhist neighbor, or the Jehovah’s Witness at your door how your faith differs from theirs? Or are you a member of another faith who is curious what Orthodoxy is all about? Look no further. In Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick covers the gamut of ancient heresies, modern Christian denominations, fringe groups, and major world religions, highlighting the main points of each faith. This audiobook is an invaluable reference for anyone who wants to understand the faiths of those they come in contact with - as well as their own.
This edition of the best-selling Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy is fully revised and significantly expanded. Major new features include a full section on Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movements, an expanded epilogue, and a new appendix (“How and Why I Became an Orthodox Christian”). More detail and more religions and movements have been included, and the audiobook is now addressed broadly to both Orthodox and non-Orthodox, making it even more shareable than before.

Bruce Shelley's classic history of the church brings the story of global Christianity into the 21st century. Like a skilled screenwriter, Shelley begins each chapter with three elements: characters, setting, plot. Taking you from the early centuries of the church up through the modern era he tells a story of actual people, in a particular situation, taking action or being acted upon, provides a window into the circumstances and historical context, and from there develops the story of a major period or theme of Christian history.

Historia
In Reasons to Believe, Scott Hahn, a convert to Catholicism, explains the "how and why" of the Catholic faith - drawing from Scripture, his own struggles, and those of other converts, as well as from everyday life and even natural science. Hahn shows that reason and revelation, as well as nature and the supernatural, are not opposed to one another; rather, they offer complementary evidence that God exists. He is someone, and He has a personality, a personal style, that is discernable and knowable.

The human body is an amazing gift, yet today, many people downplay its importance and fail to understand what Christianity teaches about our bodies and their God-given purposes. Many people misunderstand how the body was designed, its role in relating to others; and we lack awareness of the dangers of objectifying the body, divorcing it from its intended purpose.

Every generation faces the temptation to wander from orthodoxy—to seek out the jolt that comes with false teaching, and to drift with cultural currents. And so every generation must be awakened again to the thrill of orthodoxy, and experience the astonishment that comes from stumbling afresh upon the electrifying paradoxes at the heart of the Christian faith. In The Thrill of Orthodoxy, Trevin Wax turns the tables on those who believe Christian teaching is narrow and outdated.

When the Emperor Constantine converted to Christianity in 368 AD, he changed the course of European history in ways that continue to have repercussions to the present day. Adopting those aspects of the religion that suited his purposes, he turned Rome on a course from the relatively open, tolerant, and pluralistic civilization of the Hellenistic world, towards a culture that was based on the rule of fixed authority, whether that of the Bible, or the writings of Ptolemy in astronomy and of Galen and Hippocrates in medicine.

Of the many recent books on the historical Jesus, none has explored what the latest biblical scholarship means for personal faith. Now, in Meeting Jesus Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg addresses the yearnings of those who want a fully contemporary faith that welcomes rather than oppresses our critical intelligence and openness to the best of historical scholarship. Borg shows how a rigorous examination of historical findings can lead to a new faith in Christ, one that is critical and, at the same time, sustaining.

Right now, Truth is under attack, and much is at stake.

As a result, many churches and Christians have been deceived. Worse still, they propagate the deception that poses itself as Truth!

Historia
Many Christians today tend to view the story of medieval faith as a cautionary tale. Too often, they dismiss the Middle Ages as a period of corruption and decay in the church. They seem to assume that the church apostatized from true Christianity after it gained cultural influence in the time of Constantine, and that the faith was only later recovered by the 16th-century Reformers or even the 18th-century revivalists. As a result, the riches and wisdom of the medieval period have remained largely inaccessible to modern Protestants.

Historia
Most Christians would agree that the Bible provides a basis for mission. But Christopher Wright boldly maintains that mission is bigger than that - there is in fact a missional basis for the Bible. The entire Bible is generated by and is all about God's mission. In order to understand the Bible, we need a missional hermeneutic of the Bible, an interpretive perspective that is in tune with this great missional theme. We need to see the "big picture" of God's mission and how the familiar bits and pieces fit into the grand narrative of Scripture.

Meister Eckhart was a medieval Christian mystic whose wisdom powerfully appeals to seekers seven centuries after his death. In the modern era, Eckhart's writings have struck a chord with thinkers as diverse as Heidegger, Merton, Sartre, John Paul II, and the current Dalai Lama. He is the inspiration for the best-selling New Age author Eckhart Tolle's pen name, and his 14th-century quotes have become an online sensation. Today, a variety of Christians, as well as many Zen Buddhists, Sufi Muslims, Jewish Cabbalists, and various spiritual seekers, all claim Eckhart as their own.

In his coming to earth, his suffering, and his Resurrection, Christ conquered demons, sin, and death. In Arise, O God, author and podcaster Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick introduces us to the spiritual war that Christ won by his victory, how we are caught in that war’s cosmic crossfire, what the true content of the gospel is—and how we are to respond.

Orthodox Christianity is based on preserving the mind of the early Church, its phronema. Dr. Jeannie Constantinou brings her more than 40 years' experience as a professor, Bible teacher, and speaker to bear in explaining what the Orthodox phronema is, how it can be acquired, and how that phronema is expressed in true Orthodox theology.

For Protestants or Catholics seeking to understand Eastern Orthodoxy, the Cross is a good place to start. In the West a multitude of different views sprang up over the last millennium, but Orthodox Christian beliefs have remained unchanged. The contrast between those views is suggested by the two images on the book's cover, showing how differently the meaning of the Cross was understood, East and West.

In Bearing God, Father Andrew Damick recounts the life of this great pastor, martyr, and saint, and interprets for the modern listener five major themes in the pastoral letters he wrote.

Many Christians today divide ancient Jewish and Christian literature into two categories: what is in the Bible and what is not. The Christian East, however, has traditionally described a third category considered beneficial for Christians to listen to in the home: “apocrypha.” These texts, from the centuries before and after the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—beyond even the larger canons of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Old Testaments—reveal to us the religious world and theological framework of the apostles and early Church Fathers.

These are the words or sayings (Apophthegmata), of various monks (the abbas, i.e. fathers) who lived in the deserts of Egypt between 250 A.D. and 400 A.D. They cover topics such as love, poverty, fasting, humility, and prayer, and there is usually a short story that gives the context of the sayings. These sayings are one of the few surviving records of the first monks such as St. Anthony the Great and St. Pachomius, who followed a strict way of life. Their sole aim was to draw closer to God through their labours.

Where has this book been in my life? Truly, this book is a fantastic Orthodox apologetic--both a primer on multiple other Christian and pseudo-Christian denominations as well as a clear and concise explanation as to how and why those doctrines differ from the Orthodox teachings.
To be fair, I was a little hesitant when I first started to listen (Audible version) to this book. The title was interesting, but seemed very academic--I feared that this would be beyond my understanding as a lay person and not a seminarian! However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book was accessible to both the lay person, as well as providing the depth of intellectual and spiritual analysis that would attract and interest a more learned scholar. Fr. Damick works through a number of prominent, and less prominent, denominations, and proceeds to give a historical context of the religion, an overview of the main tenets and belief, followed by a concise explanation as to how the faith differs (or in some cases is similar to) Orthodoxy and the teachings of the Apostles and the Church Fathers. I wish that I had found this book sooner, during the time period when we were living away from a large Orthodox community and we attended many children' events at other churches--I would have loved to have been able to better explain our faith in the context others. Similarly, my children attended a Roman Catholic elementary school and my husband and I spent countless hours trying to figure out a way to explain, both to our children as well as our friends from the school, our faith and how we are similar, yet wholly separate from Roman Catholicism. This book, in particular, did a fantastic job of laying out the key distinctions between Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism in a clear format--easy to understand as well as providing the ability to explain to others.
Additionally, and as a pleasant surprise, I was delighted to find that Fr. Damick's "shout out" to the "Mikes" in the forward included one of the "Mikes" who is a dear friend of our family!
I highly recommend this book, in the Audible version, and I plan to purchase this book in print as well.

Confused? Read this!
If you are trying to figure out what church to attend and are confused by the myriad possibilities, this is a great resource. Written from the perspective of a member of the Orthodox Church, this book does a good job a contrasting and comparing the differing views, beliefs and perspectives of various religions which claim to all (or mostly) be THE WAY. This book is not written from a “holier than thou” perspective, and is great at clearing up the confusion one might have when deciding how to worship God. Methodist? Baptist? Evangelical? Anglican? Church of God? Dispensationalist? Calvinist?
These things can be confusing for someone who hasn’t been to seminary school and just wants to understand the beliefs held by the different religions they may have around them.
A great resource and highly recommended.

A must-hear for anyone interested in religion.
An almost encyclopedic introduction to the world’s Christian denominations and non-Christian faith traditions in their relation to Orthodoxy.
It is increasingly popular in the post-secular age for one to wonder aloud whether all religions are simply culturally distinct ways of organizing under a higher power to explain for the persistence of religious belief in a world where mystery seems in short supply. American Christians have a complicated history in terms of communicating a unified vision of what Christianity means in a world plagued with political agendas, church splintering, and articulating some of the finer distinctions or justifications for their faith against other belief systems. More to the point, a person raised in the Orthodox faith may look out at the religious landscape of the world in bewilderment – wondering how and where certain expressions of belief in the divine diverged from their own encounter with God. Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick approaches this question with renewed care and attentiveness – articulating a vision of the ancient Christian faith that is historically identifiable, logically consistent, and intellectually coherent. Said another way, it can be easy to sign off religious belief as a matter of personal conviction and an intimate experience paired with a general sense of virtue, but that would rob one from a truer understanding of how Orthodoxy impacts its believers in ways distinct from other Christian denominations or non-Christian religions. More than mere opinion, the commitment to understanding religion as a legitimate study in “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” helps the reader accessibly understand how different faith traditions guide the believer – and ultimately where those paths were forged in history.
Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick’s book operates from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, which regularly makes a claim that it practically and theologically teaches Christianity in the ways those might have understood and experienced it if they were taught from the original twelve apostles, nearly two thousand years ago. “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” unfolds in a natural way that coheres those claims by walking through the religious debates that unified and divided Christians from themselves, each other, and the world. It begins with stating the importance of sound religious doctrine and then precedes into explaining what the early Church councils determined what was and was not a justified belief about the teachings and reality of Jesus Christ and His immediate followers. In a sense, Fr. Damick sets the stage by echoing to the earliest agreed upon discussions by the then global Church in their determination of what is Christian (Orthodox) and what is heresy (Heterodox). From this point in time, the book dedicates chapters to major eras of time in which the global Church divided from Orthodoxy, including the emergence of Roman Catholicism, the Magisterial Reformation, the Radical Reformation, Evangelicalism and Revivalism, and (in what is interestingly prescribed as the fourth wave and current age of Protestantism) Pentecostalism. In doing so, the reader can consider the many debates and questions (as well as quite a few answers) about the faith between Orthodoxy and other iterations of Christianity. By explaining how Orthodoxy agrees and disagrees with the varying traditions and denominations of Christianity, the Christian reader is given new tools to understand their own beliefs, as well as new ways to lovingly affirm their religious neighbors.
Fr. Damick then dedicates four chapters to non-Christian religious belief systems to conclude the book, divided into two sections each for Non-Mainstream Christians and Non-Christian Religions. It is clear that the author dedicates more time, both orally and from a written standpoint to help the reader delineate between Orthodox Christian beliefs and various other traditions or denominations due to their seeming similarity, but some of the most interesting work comes in the Orthodox engagement with distinctly non-Christian religious systems. Speaking to the shared traits and vast differences between Orthodoxy and, say, Buddhism or Islam might seem like easier work (for example – all three emphasize altruistic behavior but only Orthodoxy states that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh), “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” goes on to give historical and anthropological context for the emergence of some religious traditions, and applies as much nuance as possible in rendering a generous reading of the actual goals and practices of non-Orthodox belief systems. The book ends with an epilogue that offers instruction on Orthodox relations with their global (and religiously vast) neighbors, as well as two appendices that address the recent emergence of atheism and agnosticism, as well as a personal account on how the author himself came to Orthodoxy. The final words are an appreciated touch of vulnerability – it reminds the reader that the search for the divine, whether obvious due to years of careful thought and research or curious due to a lack of available information, all starts with the humble drive to better understand one’s place in the cosmos.
The audiobook is narrated by the author, Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick, and runs for approximately 15 hours. That timestamp should not be seen as daunting because this audiobook is not unlike a good podcast, where the “reader” can have the content speaking for hours and still crave more. Fr. Andrew is no stranger to formats such as this – as his hosting of four podcasts, and co-leading of two more, allow for a rhetorically engaging speaking voice that fits the content naturally. For those of us that have an ear and ability to retain the spoken word at higher speeds, I found listening to this audiobook at 1.25x speed to still sound well-paced, natural, and inoffensive.
A book like no other, “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” is thorough without losing the reader whilst simultaneously discussing dozens of what could be seen as sensitive details about many religious traditions and Christian denominations. I would heavily recommend this book for all newcomers to religion, whatsoever; while Fr. Damick is clear that this is not an exhaustive account of the source material, it provides a healthy introduction to both the content, as well as the matter, of the religious persons interaction with other religious matters and content. For the tenured religious person (specifically Orthodox persons), this book helps in understanding the relationships, agreements, and disagreements with other religious traditions from across the world. For Christians (and speaking as someone that has come to Eastern Orthodoxy from a non-Orthodox Christian background) this audiobook might be considered required reading for being faithful to the ancient words of Jesus Christ. This book does not judge, but it is clear and helpful in pointing out where and why certain practices of came to be known as “Christian” considering their relationship (or non-relation) to the ancient Christian world.
How we may encounter the divine may been pushed upon us to seem like a private matter, but if Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick’s “Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy” has anything to say on the topic it’s that, not only is it not a private matter, but it may be the only way to experience, understand, and walk the narrow path to the one true God in a world with many roads.

Christian Denominations in a Nutshell
I believe that this book holds an invaluable place in every Christian's library. In today's 'religious landscape' as the title states, it can be very confusing as to why the church we personally attend states belief(doctrine) in one way and other Christians believe something completely different. Most Christians I know all profess belief in the same Bible, yet that sometimes seems to be the only commonality we have. It is equally difficult to find the basic history of different denominations of Christianity without too much additional information or lots of digging.
Fr. Andrew Stephen Damick begins by introducing why our Christian doctrine matters and what the Orthodox Church teaches beginning at the time of the apostles. I felt like Fr. Andrew does a fantastic job of being sensitive to not offend non-Orthodox Christians, while at the same time upholding the truths that the Bible and Orthodox tradition teach. He humbly acknowledges that no one can truly be unbias in their perspective, but notes that he makes an effort to make this book factual and when he is generalizing he makes a point to say so. After discussing history and Orthodoxy, the book discusses the schism between Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism, then it moves into the reformations and different branches of Evangelicalism. There were so many different denominations listed, I will definitely be listening again to pick up more details that I'm sure I missed. Fr. Andrew included many definitions of terms that I hear defining Christian groups without having understood fully what they meant. The last few sections of the book included Non-Christian Religions and finally Atheism and Agnosticism.
This book is read aloud by Fr. Andrew and he reads clearly and articulately. I found the pace to be pleasant. The book is long, but I already want to relisten to it and plan to do so several times more. I very much enjoyed the content of this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone seeking to understand how the Christian faith ended up where we are today with over 40,000 different denominations.

Must read for all Protestants
This is a book that should be read by all Protestants and Evangelicals - it will open your eyes to the failures of Sola Scriptura.
