Wisdom, Let Us Attend
This patristic anthology combines three books (bound as a single volume). In Book 1, through the insights of SS Gregory the Great, Hesychius of Jerusalem, and John Chrysostom, we gain a new perspective on the Book of Job, the most intensly personal book of the Old Testament, challenging us to meditate on how we deal with life. Passages are also included on the function of angels and demons. Book 2 is a partial reprint of The Lament of Eve, comprising the patristic prologue on the first five chapters of Genesis. Book 3 offers patristic guidance through much of the remainder of the Old Testament from Genesis through to the Song of Songs. With St Ephraim the Syrian we learn the Syriac tradition of Genesis. Origen provides interesting insights on Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers; St Gregory of Nyssa on Canticles. Includes extracts from the Prologue from Ochrid by Bishop Nikolai Veimirovich and many of his homilies on Proverbs.

In some chapters, a short Judaic section has been included to point to Messianic passages and assist with some obscure metaphors and references.
Orthodox Christians in America
Although there are over 200 million Orthodox Christians worldwide, 4 million of whom live in the United States, their history, beliefs, and practices are unfamiliar to most Americans. This book outlines the evolution of Orthodox Christian dogma, which emerged for the first time in 33 A.D., before shifting its focus to American Orthodoxy--a tradition that traces its origins back to the first Greek and Russian immigrants in the 1700s. The narrative follows the momentous events and notable individuals in the history of the Orthodox dioceses in the U.S., including Archbishop Iakovos' march for civil rights alongside Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Orthodox missionaries' active opposition to th...
Not of this World
Anthology of nearly two thousand years of Christian mystical writings from Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Protestant perspectives.
That Which Is Good And Beautiful
It seems that the world is continually being bombarded with bad news. Terrorism, riots, civil unrest, war, one despairs: is there no good news? This book proclaims that there is good news: that there is great hope, joy, and beauty in God's creation. The author takes the reader on a tour of places and people where the beauty of creation, and the beauty of the works and lives of people reflect the presence of God. The Reverend Doctor Bundy finds beauty in places one might not expect: the natural world of science, heroic men and women, and the work of secular artists and authors, as well as religious art, and worship both ancient and modern. The tour ends with a discussion of beauty as a signifier of God's Ultimate Truth.
