amazon blurb:
"The great strength of this work is precisely that it lays no claim to originality but that it steadfastly seeks to give us access to material that can replenish the faith of Christians today." - Prof. William J. Abraham, from his Foreword "Scholar, pastor, teacher - all of these aspects of Archbishop Dmitri's ministry shine forth in this commentary on St John's Gospel - the final work of his fruitful life. Vladyka Dmitri reminds us again of the centrality of the "Word Made Flesh." I rejoice that we have such a valuable resource from his hand." - Fr Stephen Freeman author, podcaster, "Glory to God" "It is fitting, given Archbishop Dmitri's continual preaching "in season, and out of season" on the reality of the Incarnation, that his final book would be this fine commentary on the Gospel according to St John: "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us."" - Fr Marcus Burch Chancellor, Diocese of the South, OCA Archbishop Dmitri Royster (1923-2011) was bishop of Dallas and the South of the Orthodox Church in America from 1978 to 2009. His Eminence was a great evangelizer and grew the fledging Diocese of the South to over sixty churches and missions by the time of his retirement. A prolific author and translator, some of his other titles include The Epistle to the Hebrews and The Miracles of Christ, available from SVS Press.
amazon blurb:
Brief but concise summaries of each parable, examining not only the Gospel texts but the way in which that text has been interpreted in commentaries by the Fathers and used in liturgical texts.
amazon blurb:
Written with the average church member in mind, this pastoral commentary on the Epistle of St James offers readers a clear explanation of the Saint s influential letter. Quotations from church fathers and parallel expressions from
Scripture create a methodology consistent with Orthodox tradition.
By also using hymns and texts from the Orthodox liturgical services, the author supplies deeper and broader contexts for familiar
biblical verses.
The book is appropriate for personal and group
biblical study and for spiritual guidance and
edification, and serves also as a useful aid to pastors
in teaching and in the preparation of homilies.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
