The Confession of Dositheus
Author: Dositheus Of Jerusalem
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
In 1672, Patriarch Dositheus of Jerusalem held a pivotal Local Council in Jerusalem. For this Council provided canonical responses to the errors found in the alleged Calvinist document said to have originated with Patriarch Cyril Lucaris of Constantinople. One of the chief documents to emerge from this Council was the Confession of Dositheus, which provides a series of Eighteen Confessional Decrees and Four Answered Questions that speak to the issues raised both more generally by Protestant influences seeking to find their way into the Orthodox Church, and more specifically by those enumerated in the text attributed to Cyril Lucaris. Sadly, this document has not found the circulation it deserves, and therefore it is being republished here, with annotations discussing key issues raised by the text. It also contains three Appendices, one which addresses the issue of the Atonement as understood by the Council Fathers, another examining the issue of the relationship between free will, good works, and grace, and a third exploring prayers for the faithful departed.

The Longer Catechism of the Eastern Orthodox Church
Author: Philip Schaff
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
"What is Christian hope?" According to the Longer Catechism, Christian hope is "the resting of the heart on God, with the full trust that he ever cares for our salvation, and will give us the happiness he has promised." Succinctly and authoritatively, this and many other questions were asked and answered in St. Philaret of Moscow's Longer Catechism, which he composed in order to assist the faithful in understanding the essentials of the Orthodox Christian faith and way of life. Totaling six hundred and eleven questions and answers, it organizes its subjects on the three pillars of Faith, Hope, and Love, and under each respective heading treats of the Creed, the Lord's Prayer and Beatitudes, and the Ten Commandments. This immensely valuable work has stood the test of time and will continue to be a resource for bishops, priests, deacons, laity, and catechumens, for teaching, learning, and reinforcing the truths of our faith. Also included is St. Philaret's Shorter Catechism, and also a profound and moving sermon by him on the Cross of Christ. Perfect for young and old, for individual study, small groups, and catechism classes, and for inquirers into the Orthodox faith, it is hoped that the trustworthy and sanctified voice of St. Philaret will continue to echo still, edifying and enlightening all those who take up and read.

Sacred History
Author: J.R. Emry
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0359856748
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
Rescued from being a lost book, this history's last manuscript lay deep within the Vatican Archives, this classic historical text is now, for the first time, being published for the modern reader. Sulpicius Severus is best known for his biography of St. Martin of Tours and his Sacred History (also known as the Chronicle.) Sacred History is a brief history of the world from the beginning to his own time and in the latter portions focuses on the Priscillianist heresy that disordered his home province of Aquitaina which is in modern day France, as well as the Arian controversy. Severus prefers a purely historical interpretation of the scriptures in reaction to the gnostic philosophy that entrenched his region that reduced the sacred history to mere allegory. The Sacred History is written in classic style, such as what is found in Tacitus, and is intended to introduce lovers of history to the histories of the Bible.
