New Release: The Orthodox Truth - Collected Works

We must think with the mind of the Church to understand our place in history is that alone of all “world religions,” the Christian revelation declares that the true God acts in history and makes Himself known through history. Only the Church teaches that God became a particular man at a particular time in a particular place. Christians live from prior events in history of the Creation and the Incarnation, and towards the Second Coming, the End of the World, and the Dread Judgment. Our faith is uniquely tied to history, and it was, in fact, the Christian Faith that gave birth to historical consciousness and the academic study of history. Ultimately what we learn here should inspire us to take action, to live in a certain way based on the understanding we acquire.


This volume includes:

  • 4 Years of reflections on the daily readings
  • Fr. Steven's notes on his rendition of the Orthodox Survival Course
