Reviews

This is a real treasury. The most creative and profound names in modern Orthodox thinking are brought before us in magnificently accessible form, at the hands of a first-class scholar who has already written eloquently aboutmany of them. The interest of this book goes far beyond specialists in Eastern Christianity alone: here is a symphony of thoroughly contemporary Christian voices who are at the same time steeped in the life of worship and tradition. A splendid collection.--Dr. Rowan Williams
