  1. Paul

    Excellent

    Great introduction. Covers many topics. Very rich history and endless depths to be explored.

    Summer 2018 Survey

    Much lacking in the toolbox of many Roman Catholic professionals is even minimal knowledge of the Christian East. This series opens up the mysteries of Christianity from a different angle that enriches perceptions of Western Christians.
