Christology: Being and Becoming

Fr. Patrick Henry Reardon

One way of defining “Christology” is simply, “talking about Christ.” In this elementary sense, of course, Christians have been “doing Christology” from the very beginning—from the very minute they were faced with the question, “What think ye of the Christ?”

The Ascension of the Lord

Archpriest Seraphim Slobodskoy

Ascended to Heaven, Jesus Christ according to His own promise invisibly always comes to earth among those who believe in Him, and He will come again to earth in a visible form to judge the living and the dead who will then rise from the dead.

The Work That Saves

Fr. Stephen Freeman

Do we cooperate in our salvation? Do our efforts make a difference?These questions lie at the heart of a centuries-old religious debate in Christianity.

5 Ways Eastern Orthodox Differs From Other Christian Denominations

Eastern Orthodox Christianity predates Protestantism by about 500 years. Their core beliefs are similar to those of Catholicism.In fact, the creeds of the two denominations are nearly identical. However, there are key differences between Orthodox Christianity and other Christian denominations.

Holy Saturday and the Harrowing of Hell

Robert Arakaki

Today Hades cried out groaning: “Would that I had not received the One born of Mary; for He came upon me and loosed my power. He shattered the gates of brass; the souls, which I held captive of old, as God He raised up.” Glory O Lord to Your Cross and Your Resurrection.

[English Edition / Theology]

The Lamentations Service for Holy Saturday Matins

This service includes what are called the Lamentations of the Theotokos. Our Lord Jesus Christ has been taken down from the cross, and His Most Pure Mother laments at His lifeless Body, but theologizes concerning the mystery of His death and our redemption.

Plucking the TULIP (2) – An Eastern Orthodox Critique of the Reformed Doctrine of Predestination

In this posting I will be critiquing TULIP as an overall theological system first by discussing how TULIP developed from Augustine’s theology. Then, I will discuss how TULIP’s denial of human free will is consequential for Christology and our understanding of the Trinity. I will also show how the Orthodox approach to the Trinity provides an understanding of salvation that allows for free will and genuine love.

Response to "Orthodox Fundamentalists" by George Demacopoulos

Fr. John Whiteford

Dr. George Demacopoulos of Fordham University recently posted an article entitled "Orthodox Fundamentalists," on the Greek Archdiocese's website. There are a number of problems with it that I think need to be pointed out.

On Glossologia

Elder Cleopa of Romania

Glossologia, or “speaking in tongues,” as a gift of the Holy Spirit, is the ability to speak a foreign language without having to be taught it or knowing it beforehand.

Creature or Creator?

Bishop Alexander (Mileant)

In our time the sect of Jehovah’s Witnesses has resurrected the defeated Arian heresy from the dust of history. Their variation of it teaches that Jesus Christ is the incarnation of a spirit-son or an angel-like creature. The danger posed by the sect of Jehovah’s Witnesses comes from the fact that they possess seemingly unlimited financial reserves and thus flood the world with their literature and their preachers.

[English Edition / Theology]

Jehovah’s Witnesses

Fr. Alexey Young

Anyone who has had more than a passing encounter with Jehovah’s Witnesses would find it hard to disagree. Their arguments appear so tightly constructed as to be virtually unassailable. Even if one is left unconquered, the experience is frustrating. Is this a no-win situation?

Our windows into heaven

Drawing on the rich tradition of Orthodox Christian spirituality and imagery, a collection of over 80 icons - by Greek and Russian masters - will be exhibited at the Art Gallery of Ballarat

Sola Scriptura vs. Holy Tradition: Is There a Difference?

Gabe Martini

The Church is the Church because she is the Church. Does that sound like a circular argument to you? Well of course it is, because it isn’t an argument—it’s a matter of life.

How Simple Peasants Became God-Seers

Priest Andrew Ludovic

I was sitting amidst simple folk who had experiences similar to those of St. Gregory Palamas and St. Simeon New Theologian! And of course, they had been blessed by the priest who served the Liturgy, and who was sitting there with us.

An Orthodox Christian Understanding of the Immaculate Conception

St. John (Maximovich) of Shanghai and San Francisco

Such a “vain deceit” is the teaching of the Immaculate Conception by Anna of the Virgin Mary, which at first sight exalts, but in actual fact belittles Her.

St. Nicholas of Japan on Buddhism

Deacon Giorgi Maximov

Of the tens of thousands of Japanese converted to Orthodoxy thanks to his labors, a significant portion were former Buddhists, and amongst his assistants were former Buddhist monks (Bhikkhu), for example, Paul Savabe. The saint studied Buddhism during the first eight years of his time in Japan, when, in his words, he “strove with all diligence to study Japanese history, religion, and the spirit of the Japanese people.”

Thoughts on the Nature of Evil

Fr. James Thornton

How is it possible that evil exists in a world created by God? For evil is precisely that which opposes itself to and resists God, perverting His designs and repudiating His ordinances. How then can evil exist if all that exists depends upon God for its existence?

Monotheism, Part 3: Islam

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

The difference between the Old Testament religion of the Law and Islam is not only that the latter emerged more than two thousand years after God gave on Mount Sinai the Ten Commandments and other precepts that governed life for the chosen people. The most important difference is that the Law of Moses has a Divine source. The founder of Islam, however, did not have a Divine revelation.

Monotheism. Part 2: Judaism

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

The Messiah came, but Jewish leaders, Pharisees, and Sadducees condemned him to death. But why were the Pharisees, Sadducees, and scribes offended? Why did the Pharisees and scribes, who were witnesses to the magnificent miracles performed by Jesus and knew the Scriptures better than anyone else, stubbornly refuse to recognize Christ? Finally, one more question: why did they hate Him, despite the fact that he delivered many people from terrible disease and suffering?

The Legacy of Patriarch Abraham On Authentic and Imagined Monotheism. Part 1: Christianity

Hieromonk Job (Gumerov)

During the prophetic period, biblical monotheism receives the ultimate clear, theological justification. The Lord speaks through the Prophet Isaiah: " I am the Lord, and there is none else" God is not only the only Creator of heaven and earth, but also the Lord, "he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein".
