“An important, extremely valuable, and long-awaited work on the Œcumenical Synods from an Orthodox perspective, analyzing them, in historical sequence, as an expression of the living Faith of the Early Christian Church, which Faith they and Orthodoxy reflect and embody. Written with scholarly acuity but in language and in a style that make it available to the average reader, Father James’ newest book is a virtual primer of Orthodox theology and history and a truly recherché volume from a fine writer.”
—Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna
