superb
Hard to imagine lectures more clear, informative, and engaging to listen to.
As someone born and raised in Orthodoxy, I was most enriched by listening to this series. And because the talks are so well organized and so clearly and straight-forwardly expressed, I have no doubt that they would be just as accessible to a newcomer to Orthodoxy.

excellent presentation, clear and understandable
The presentation was clear and understandable I am sure that anyone listening to it would gain a good deal of information no matter what denomination they were raised in. I found it especially helpful when pointing out the differences between Eastern and Western Christianity it was done in a very factual manner,that lead to calm contemplation of the differences instead of a manner that could have been confrontational.
The only thing more I could haven personally wished for is possibly twice as many cd’s so that Professor Bouteneff could have delved more deeply into several if not all of the topics.

Orthodox Christian Church added to my knowledge of Orthodoxy and gave an understanding of points of conflict with Catholicism. In general the discussion of the theological insights of the Eastern Church deepened my own theological and spiritual reflections.

very informative and thought-provoking
Orthodox Church – very informative and thought-provoking, with different slants on such topics as original sin.

This is an excellent summary
This is an excellent summary of the principle tenets of Eastern Orthodoxy. It is unfortunate that this community is largely unknown by Western Christians other than a few scholars interested in ecumenism. There is much we Christians have in common.

Very informative
The course presents an encompassing view of Orthodoxy, from an Orthodox viewpoint. Examines similarity and difference in belief between the Catholic and Orthodox traditions. Very informative and well organized. The presenter is a professor at an Orthodox seminary, and is a polished teacher.

Winter Survey: January 2017
One of my favorites was a course on the Orthodox faith. It was only on CD and I would have preferred DVD. It is an excellent course and gave me a better understanding of the Orthodox.
