Women and Ordination in the Orthodox Church
Contributing Authors: Fr. John Behr Dr Spyridoula Athanasopoulou-Kypriou Dr. Dionysios Skliris Fr. Andrew Louth Dr Mary Cunningham Met Kallistos Ware Rev Dr Sarah Hinlicky Wilson Dr Kyriaki Karidoyanes FitzGerald Dr Carrie Frederick Frost Dr Paul Ladouceur Luis Josué Salés This book—a collaborative, international initiative, involving academic theologians and practitioners—invites the reader into a conversation about the ordination of women in the Orthodox Church.

The reflections move across three main areas of discussion: issues of theological anthropology, particular questions pertaining to the priesthood and the diaconate, and contemporary practices. In each area the implications for ordaining women in the Orthodox Church today are explored.

The Battle of The Sexes: It's Been Downhill Since The Garden
“The Battle of the Sexes” explores how the Word of God (YHWH), both the Old Testament and the New Testament, has been twisted to support a narrative that is not in the Scriptures. Traditional translations and teachings of the Bible have either presumed or assumed that men are given power and dominion over women. But nowhere in the Bible is this statement made, not even in Genesis (Bereishis) 3:16, “And your husband will rule over you,” which is not spoken as an imperative but rather as a prophecy. The original Hebrew language of the first five books of Moses, also known as the Torah (Old Testament), tells a very different story of the primal couple. A story that is contrary to what i...
Sweeter Than Honey
I had the happy privilege of partly introducing Loris to the Hebrew language. It soon became apparent that she had a rare gift. In short order, she became the "teacher" and added greatly to the entire class. On her own she started tutoring friends, including neighborhood children. She has a beautiful heart full of love for the Bible and others. It does not surprise me to see the creative work she has done. Both she and her book are bound to be a blessing. Professor Don Pickerill Sweeter Than Honey is an amazing series of insights put together by Loris DeMarco. It is more than just some thoughts for devotion. It is a gift with the intention to inspire the body of Christ. The Hebrew applicatio...

Valuable new insights into the multi-layered and multi-directional relationship of law, literature, and social regulation in pre-Conquest English society. Pre-Conquest English law was among the most sophisticated in early medieval Europe.

However, recent scholarship has also revealed the significant influence of these legal documents and ideas on other cultural domains, both modern and pre-modern. This collection explores the richness of pre-Conquest legal writing by looking beyond its traditional codified form. Draw...
