Christology of the Later Fathers, edited by Edward R. Hardy. It has some works from Sts. Athanasius, Gregory Nyssen and Gregory Nazianzen. It also has the declarations of several of the Ecumenical Councils.

Who is Rufus?
Is this thing actually a trilogy? Heh, he's the poster who mentioned recently reading Way of the Pilgrim. I don't think it's a trilogy. As far as I know, just that odd continuation bit at the end. I thought Rufus might be part of some prequel or sequel. I dunno. What are the lines in your sig from? |

Pretty cool.
So far, so good And I find it interesting how many people worked on the content. The cover lists 2 creators, 3 writers, and 3 additional contributors. Inside the book, just before the table of contents, 10 other consultants are mentioned. I realise there's usually all sorts of editors and reviewers and such involved when a University Press publishes something, but still... |

This is a valuable thread; please share your readings on "Orthodox" books? That is beneficial for our spiritual life. I may have to read the thread from the beginning, I guess.

Information should be free, the paperbacks cost pretty much what it costs to print them. Every good author deserves a living...a patron...a paying audience. You are certainly then free to make your skills available as you see fit, moment to moment. It is not information that we pay for with an author: it is that part of themselves with which they invest the presentation. M. |

^ Very surprised by that list. Some excellent suggestions indeed, and at the least, some pretty good exposure.
As for what I'm reading at the moment?
A lot of journal articles not particularly relevant to the board.
I would rather be reading most of the ones on the Huffington Post list.

I've read eleven on that list (some in full, some in part), more than I expected: 1. Blessed Augustine's Confessions (Highly recommended!) 2. The Philokalia (Still working through it, but wonderful stuff.) 3. The Institutes of John Calvin (Read most of it during my Protestant days. Calvin was not a very good writer IMO, too redundant. Can't compare with Luther's writings, which as heretical as they are nevertheless are thoroughly readable and very entertaining.) 4. Pascal's Pensees (I've read much of it. Good writer and a good philosopher, although his "wager" is given way too much prominence for some odd reason. That's one of his weaker arguments.) 5. Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan (Actually a very Orthodox book written by a Protestant.) 6. The Way of A Pilgrim (Don't need to say much about this one.) 7. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoevsky (Riches and depth on every page!) 8. Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton (This is not a book about Orthodoxy in the "Orthodox" theological sense, but a wonderful read nonetheless. Chesterton’s arguments are wonderfully witty and profoundly logical. Great stuff!) 9. The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer (One of the most influential books I’ve ever read. The ideas are thoroughly Orthodox in my opinion, even though Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran.) 10. The Seven Story Mountain by Thomas Merton. (Written by one of my spiritual heroes, this is one of my 3 favorite books.) 11. Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis (A very good book, sound Christian apologetics conveyed in a very readable manner.)

Currently reading [Homilies on the Book of the Revelation, Vol. One/i] by Archimandrite Athanasios Mitilinaious. Also reading A Second Look at the Second Coming. Since "Second Look" begins with a criticism of Hal Lindsey's book The Late Great Planet Earth, a book I read about 35 years ago, I also picked up a copy of it for reference. I've only just started, but "Homilies" seems very promising.
