I receive my latest St Vladimir's Seminary Press Book Club package. Hurrah.
Macarius of Jerusalem: Letter to the Armenians, AD 335; Abraham Terian.
In his Letter to the Armenians, Macarius, Bishop of Jerusalem, draws on local tradition to respond to queries by the nascent Armenian Church regarding baptism and the Eucharist.
Orthodox Readings of Augustine; George E. Demacopoulos and Aristotle Papanikolaou.
This book not only presents Eastern Orthodox readings of the great Latin theologian, but also demonstrates the very nature of theological consensus in ecumenical dialogue, from a referential starting point of the ancient and great Fathers.
Rejoice! Hymns to The Virgin Mary [CD]; St Vladimir's Seminary Male Chorale, Director: Kevin Smith.
Hear the St Vladimir's Seminary Male Chorale sing chants [English-language arrangements of traditional Russian, Serbian, and Greek chants, as well as new compositions by seminary faculty and alumni] honoring Mary's particular and intimate role in the life and death of Jesus, from His incarnation and birth, to standing at the foot of His Cross and yearning to rejoin Him in heaven at her own falling asleep.
Thinking Through Faith; Aristotle Papanikolaou and Elizabeth H. Prodromou, editors.
Within this collection of twelve essays, a younger generation of Orthodox scholars in America takes up the perennial task of transmitting the meaning of Christianity to a particular time and culture.
Looking forward to some interesting and challenging reading, and listening to some beautiful hymns. Thanks be to God.
