Rock and Sand: An Orthodox Appraisal of the Protestant Reformers and Their Teachings by Archpriest Josiah Trenham, Fr. Michael Monos ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1939028501

Amazon blurb:
"This book has been written for three purposes. First, to provide the Orthodox reader with a competent overview of the history of Protestantism and its major traditions, from its beginnings in the 16th century to the present day. This overview relies heavily upon the Reformer’s own words as well as the creeds of various Protestant faiths, in order to avoid misrepresentation and caricature. Second, to acquaint Orthodox and non-Orthodox readers with a narrative of the historical relations between the Orthodox East and the Protestant West. Finally, to provide a summary of Orthodox theological opinion on the tenets of Protestantism."

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."

    @MJ. Smith and @Mark Allison your two requests for the same title have been merged here.

    We've never licensed anything from New Rome Press before, but I just reached out to them for Rock & Sand and perhaps a few other titles. I even played my "I'm Orthodox, too!" card in my message to them to see if that would carry any weight :-)
