Are John 3 and 6 About Baptism and the Eucharist?

Seraphim Hamilton

The Gospel of John is about Jesus as High Priest of a New Temple. The whole book is structured according to the furniture of the tabernacle. We begin at the Courtyard Altar, with Jesus identified as the “Lamb of God” and we end at the Holy of Holies, with Jesus emerging out of a Tomb with two angels on either side of His burial place, just as the two cherubim in the Holy of Holies.

Biblical Roots of the Jesus Prayer

Seraphim Hamilton

The disclosure of the Name of Yahweh is the disclosure of His most fundamental properties, or energies. Energies means activities, and everything God discloses about Himself is an activity. St. Dionysios says that all the processions of God are “goodnesses” so that the Lord tells Moses that He will “make all my goodness pass before you.”

An Uncomplicated Truth

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

And this is the reason the confession of Jesus never became, in the eyes of the Church, a challenge to biblical monotheism. In the Orthodox faith Jesus is divine because He pertains to—is included in—the identity of God. Gradually this truth became perfectly clear to a certain fishermen, an improbable tax collector, and some women of their company. Their conviction on the point was a big and difficult step, but it wasn’t complicated.

Jesus, Gentiles, and the Hour of Glory

Why you can’t divorce Jesus from religion or the Church

Joel J. Miller

"You can’t divorce Jesus from the Church and keep the New Testament because the New Testament becomes a mess of self-contradiction if it doesn’t pertain to a religion that has an institutional expression."

Methodius: The Deep Things of the Scriptures

Fr. Ted Bobosh

In the world today, especially in American Christianity, there are divisive debates opposing biblical literalists with those who do not think every scriptural verse was or is meant to be read only literally. Similar debates occurred from the beginnings of Christianity.

Faith without dogma—and other imaginary creatures

Joel J. Miller

When we demonize religion and hold up relationship as the answer, we forget that there are plenty of terrible relationships. Good dogma provides ground to build a good relationship. A deep and enriching relationship with my wife comes from knowing her as she is, not imagining her according to my fancy.

Valuing Beauty in Orthodox Worship

Kamal Hourani

Khouria Krista explained that beauty must be experienced noetically, that is by not only physical senses but by spiritual perception. Truly beautiful icons, hymns, or adornments strike a chord in the depths of the human person and aid in Orthodox worship.

The Purpose of Mystery, Paradox and Contradiction

Christianity is deeply associated with the word “mystery.” Its theological hymns are replete with paradox, repeatedly affirming two things to be true that are seemingly contradictory.

On St. Cyril and the Mia Physis Formula

Hans Van Loon

The most important reason why Cyril is often depicted as a Miaphysite theologian is the self-perpetuating myth that the mia physis formula would be his favorite formula, which he employed many times.

St. Basil, the Great Visionary of Creation

Jesse Dominick

As a theologian St. Basil is distinguished as a luminous visionary of the dogma of creation. His Hexaemeron, or commentary on the six days of creation, delivered as a series of nine sermons during Lent sometime around 370 AD, has stood the test of time to become the Church’s most authoritative text on the matter.

The Lamb of God

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

"The theological significance of this particular sacrifice caused the Christians to interpret the Passover lamb as a type or figure of Christ, who was slain to deliver the human race from demonic bondage."

The Divine Plan: The Simple Elegance of Creation and Freedom

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

"We will make man in such a way that We will “grow” on him. We will reveal Ourself to him, not all at once, but bit-by-bit. This will require making time, the experience of sequence and memory, an essential component of his existence. As We diffused our eternal love to the angels in an instant, we will share that love with man through the duration of a lengthy process—well, at least it will seem lengthy to man."
