The Distortion of Orthodox Truth in Russian Theological Thought
“Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Regarding the article by Metr. Antony (Khrapovitsky) “The Dogma of Atonement” We have divided the entire contents of this study into three parts. In the first of these, we talk about the denial by Metr. Antony of the legal view of the atonement and cite the revealed and patristic evidence to refute this denial. The subject of the second part is the presentation of the doctrine of Metr. Antony about the atonement of us with the compassionate love of Christ, His spiritual Gethsemane torment. This teaching is also overturned by the scriptures and the works of the Holy Fathers of the Church. Finally, in order to maximally capture the hearts of the readers of our book of the Orthodox doctrine of the atonement, we give a brief summary of it on the basis of Divine Revelation, patristic teachings, and liturgical books, which is the third part of this study.

Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - The highroad was dry, a lovely April sun was shining warmly, but the snow was still lying in the ditches and in the woods. Winter, dark, long, and spiteful, was hardly over; spring had come all of a sudden. But neither the warmth nor the languid transparent woods, warmed by the breath of spring, nor the black flocks of birds flying over the huge puddles that were like lakes, nor the marvelous fathomless sky, into which it seemed one would have gone away so joyfully, presented anything new or interesting to Marya Vassilyevna who was sitting in the cart. For thirteen years she had been schoolmistress, and there was no reckoning how many times during all those years she had been to the town for her salary; and whether it were spring as now, or a rainy autumn evening, or winter, it was all the same to her, and she always - invariably - longed for one thing only, to get to the end of her journey as quickly as could be.
The Eastern Orthodox Church
Western European Christendom finds it difficult to comprehend the Eastern Orthodox Church because it knows little about the practice and doctrines of Orthodoxy. Even what is known is overlaid by many strata of prejudices and misunderstandings, partly political in nature. One of the obstacles has been the natural tendency to confound the ideas and customs of the Orthodox Church with familiar parallels in Roman Catholicism. To escape this tradition pitfall, Ernst Benz focuses on icon painting as a logical place to begin his examination of the Orthodox Church. Beginning with a brilliant discussion of the importance of icons in the Eastern Church--and the far-reaching effects of icons on doctrin...
