The Orthodox Church $10.95 “THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU >- to appreciate the depth and beauty of the dominant form of Christianity in Greece, Russia and much of Eastern Europe >- to understand the tenets, nature and holy days of Orthodox belief >- to recognize the physical features of an Orthodox church, and the spiritual significance of icons >- to know what to expect and how to conduct yourself during Orthodox services and ceremonies >Orthodoxy is the dominant form of Christianity in Greece, Russia, parts of Eastern Europe and the Balkans. Its practices are largely unfamiliar in the West, and have remained essentially unchanged since the earliest days of the faith. This lucid introduction outlines the tenets, nature and holy days of Orthodox belief with the Western reader in mind. It describes the physical church, especially icons, services, and common practices, and offers advice to visitors on how to conduct themselves so that they are accepted and feel comfortable. >Several chapters concern the life of Jesus and the beginnings of Christianity; others trace the origins and history of the Church, with particular attention to its great champion, Constantine the Great. The present structure of the Church is described in brief, and the split between the Eastern and the Western Churches is related with differences clearly explained. >The great antiquity and beauty of its liturgy, its essentially minimal hierarchy and its mystical yet pragmatic approach make the Orthodox religion a powerful medium for its profound and universal message. This deceptively simple volume takes the reader on a journey to the heart of the Christian tradition. >ACCESS THE WORLD’S RELIGIONS >”Simple Guides: Religion” is a series of concise, accessible introductions to the world’s major religions. Written by experts in the field, they offer an engaging and sympathetic description of the key concepts, beliefs and practices of different faiths. >Ideal for spiritual seekers and travellers alike, “Simple Guides” aims to open the doors of perception. Together the books provide a reliable compass to the world’s great spiritual traditions, and a point of reference for further exploration and discovery. By offering essential insights into the core values, customs and beliefs of different>societies, they also enable visitors to be aware of the cultural sensibilities of their hosts, and to behave in a way that fosters mutual respect and understanding.” |

Graanica Monastery was declared Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance in 1990, and it is protected by Republic of Serbia, and on 13 July 2006 it was placed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List under the name of Medieval Monuments in Kosovo as an extension of the Visoki Deani site which was overall placed on the List of World Heritage Sites in danger. The Graanica Monastery is one of King Milutin’s last monumental endowments. It is situated in the village of Graanica, a Serb enclave 5 km (3.1 mi) from Pristina. The monastery is in the close vicinity of Lipljan (ancient Roman town of Ulpiana), the old residence of bishops. Queen Simonida of Serbia, wife of King Milutin, a fresco from Graanica monastery.Graanica was constructed on the ruins of an older 13th century church of the Holy Virgin, which was built on the ruins of a 6th century early Christian three-naved basilica. On the southern wall of the chapel is written the king’s charter, including the following words: “I have seen the ruins and the decay of the Holy Virgin’s temple of Graanica, the bishopric of Lipljan, so I have built it from the ground and painted and decorated it both from inside and outside”. Of the former monastic compound, only the church has survived. The narthex and the tower were added a few decades later, in order to protect the frescoes on the west facade. The narthex was heavily damaged by the Turks several times between 13791383, when the tower was burned and the fire devoured a rich collection of manuscripts and other precious objects. The narthex was reconstructed in 1383. Again, Graanica suffered d… More: |

Abaqa also engaged in unsuccessful attempts at military invasion of Syria, including the Second Battle of Homs .Life Abaqa was born in February 1234, son of Ilkhanate founder Hulagu Khan.

Doquz, a devout Nestorian Christian , was regarded as a spiritual leader of the Mongols, who were generally tolerant of many religions. Abaqa himself was marginally Buddhist , though he was also very sympathetic to Christianity due to his mother’s influence. A favored son of Hulagu, he was made governor of Turkestan . Hulagu died from illness in 1265. Before his death, he had been negotiating with the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII Palaiologos to add a daughter of the Byzantine imperial family to Hulagu’s number of wives.

Excerpt: Part of the series on Eastern Christianity The Philokalia (Gk. , “love of the beautiful”) is a collection of texts written between the fourth and fifteenth centuries by spiritual masters of the Christian contemplative , ascetic and hesychast tradition . While the compilation was made in the Eastern Orthodox Church, the individual works cut across denominational lines (emphasizing the considerable intellectual exchange among monastic communities in early Christianity). Writers from Eastern Orthodox , Coptic , Syriac , and even Latin Christian traditions are represented. The works were originally written for the guidance and instruction of monks in ‘the practise of the contemplative life’ . The collection was compiled in the eighteenth-century by St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Makarios of Corinth .Although these works were individually known in Greek-reading Christian monastic culture before their inclusion in The Philokalia , their presence in this collection has resulted in a much wider readership due to its translation into several languages , including a seven-volume translation into Russian (Dobrotolyubie |

Born a granddaughter of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom , she was given the name Alexandra Feodorovna upon being received into the Russian Orthodox Church , which canonised her as Saint Alexandra the Passion Bearer in 2000.

Chapters: 2nd-Century Christian Texts, Gospel of James, Diatessaron, Didache, Clementine Literature, the Shepherd of Hermas, on the Detection and Overthrow of the So-Called Gnosis, Epistles of Clement, Apology of Aristides, Apocalypse of Peter, Gospel of Truth, Inscription of Abercius, Apocryphon of John, Apocryphon of James, Epistle to Diognetus, Acts of Peter. Excerpt: The Didache (pronounced ; Koine Greek: , Didach “Teaching”; Modern Greek ) is the common name of a brief early Christian treatise (dated by most scholars to the late first/early second century). The Didache of the Twelve Apostles had been written and widely disseminated by about the year 100, and became increasingly important in the second and third Christian centuries. It is an anonymous work not belonging to any single individual, and a pastoral manual “that reveals more about how Jewish-Christians saw themselves and how they adapted their Judaism for gentiles than any other book in the Christian Scriptures.” The text, parts of which may have constituted the first written catechism, has three main sections dealing with Christian lessons, rituals such as baptism and eucharist, and Church organization. It was considered by some of the Church Fathers as part of the New Testament but rejected as spurious or non-canonical by others, eventually not accepted into the New Testament canon with the exception of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church “broader canon” which includes the Didascalia which is based on the Didache. The Catholic Church has accepted it as part of the collection of Apostolic Fathers. In 1886, soon after the Didache was first published, and some sixty years before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi Codices, Scottish Professor M. D. Riddle commented: “Bryennios… More: |

Excerpt: Saint Nicholas (Greek: , Agios Nikolaos ) (270 – 6 December 346) is the canonical and most popular name for Nicholas of Myra, a saint and Greek Bishop of Myra (Demre, in Lycia, part of modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose English name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as is common for early Christian saints. In 1087, his relics were furtively translated to Bari, in southeastern Italy; for this reason, he is also known as, Nicholas of Bari. The historical Saint Nicholas is remembered and revered among Catholic and Orthodox Christians. He is also honoured by various Anglican and Lutheran churches. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, thieves, and child… More: |

He is best known for his new translation of the Bible into Latin, which has since come to be called the Vulgate and his list of writings are extensive. (See Jerome and Early Church Fathers, Chapter 135) He is recognized by the Catholic Church as a saint and Doctor of the Church, and his version of the Bible is still an important text in Catholicism. He is also recognized as a saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, where he is known as St. Jerome of Stridonium or Blessed Jerome.

6th-Century Monarchs in Africa: Gelimer, Hilderic, Thrasamund, Kaleb of Axum, Saifu, Israel of Axum, W`zb, Ousas, Wazena, Gersem, Alla Amidas $9.53 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Chapters: Gelimer, Hilderic, Thrasamund, Kaleb of Axum, Saifu, Israel of Axum, W’zb, Ousas, Wazena, Gersem, Alla Amidas, Hataz, Ioel. Excerpt: Kaleb (c.520) is perhaps the best-documented, if not best-known, king of Axum. Procopius of Caesarea calls him “Hellestheaeus”, a variant of his throne name Ella Atsbeha or Ella Asbeha (Histories, 1.20). On both his coins and inscriptions he left at Axum, as well as Ethiopian hagiographical sources and king lists, he refers to himself as the son of Tazena. He may be the “Atsbeha” or “Asbeha” of the Ethiopian legends of Abreha and Asbeha, the other possibility being Ezana’s brother Saizana. Procopius, John of Ephesus, and other contemporary historians recount his invasion of Yemen around 520, against the Jewish Himyarite king Yusuf Asar Yathar (also known as Dhu Nuwas), who was persecuting the Christians in his kingdom. After much fighting, Kaleb’s soldiers eventually routed Yusuf’s forces and killed the king, allowing Kaleb to appoint Sumuafa’ Ashawa’, a native Christian (named Esimphaios by Procopius), as his viceroy of Himyar. As a result of his protection of the Christians, he is known as St. Elesbaan after the sixteenth-century Cardinal Cesare Baronio added him to his edition of the Roman Martyrology despite his being a Monophysite and therefore in Roman Catholic eyes a heretic. However, the question of whether Miaphysitismthe actual christology of the Oriental Orthodox Churches (including the Coptic Orthodox Church)was a heresy is a question which remains to this day, and other Oriental saints such as Isaac of Nineveh continue to be venerated by the Chalcedonian churches. Axumite control of South Arabia continued until c.525 when Sumuafa’ Ashawa’ was deposed by Abraha, who made himself king. Procopius sta… More: |

9th-Century Christian Church Councils: Fourth Council of Constantinople, Councils of Quierzy, Synod of Thionville, Councils of Nmes $8.41 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Not illustrated. Excerpt: The Fourth Council of Constantinople (Roman Catholic) was the 8th Catholic Ecumenical Council held in Constantinople from October 5, 869 to February 28, 870. It included 102 bishops, 3 papal legates, and 4 patriarchs. The Council met in 10 sessions from October 869 to February 870 and issued 27 canons. The council was called by Emperor Basil I the Macedonian and Pope Adrian II. It deposed Photios, a layman who had been appointed as Patriarch of Constantinople, and reinstated his predecessor Ignatius. The Council also reaffirmed the decisions of the Second Council of Nicaea in support of icons and holy images and required the image of Christ to have veneration equal with that of the gospel book. A later council, the Greek Fourth Council of Constantinople, was held after Photios had been reinstated on order of the Emperor. Today, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the council in 869870 as “Constantinople IV”, while the Eastern Orthodox Churches recognize the councils in 879880 as “Constantinople IV” and revere Photios as a saint. At the time that these councils were being held, this division was not yet clear. These two councils represent a break between East and West. The previous seven ecumenical councils are recognized as ecumenical and authoritative by both Greek-literate Eastern Christians and Latin-literate Western Christians. This division led eventually to the East-West Schism of 1054. With the coronation of Charlemagne by Pope Leo III in 800, his new title as Patricius Romanorum, and the handing over of the keys to the Tomb of Saint Peter, the papacy had acquired a new protector in the West. This freed the pontiffs to some degree from the power of the emperor in Constantinople but it also led to a schism, because t… More: |

A Brighter Future after 2000 Years of Christian Churches vs Judaism?: Why Pope John II Apologizes $2.17 A Brighter Future After 2000 Years of Christian Churches VS Judaism? portrays the true story of the Roman Catholic Church’s persecution of the Jewish people for 2000 years. But now Pope John Paul II, Cardinal John O’Connor, some Orthodox Catholic clergy, Protestant churches, and many others, are publicly apologizing to the Jewish people for past actions.A Brighter Future After 2000 Years of Christian Churches VS Judaism? lists all the anti-Jewish Roman Catholic Church Canons (laws) issued over the centuries. These Canons made life miserable for the Jewish people, even causing death to many. Why the Christian Churches engaged in anti-Jewish actions is made clear. Germany’s Hitler used the Church’s Canons as a model for his own anti-Jewish laws resulting in the Holocaust. Both Roman Catholic and Protestant Church bodies are commended for recently reversing past Church policies. They now declare anti-Semitism a Church sin. Vatican II’s historic “Nostra Aetate;” Pope John XXIII’s efforts for a change in Church policy; Pope John Paul II’s denunciation of past Church treatment of Jewish people are contributing to a new and better future for Jewish-Christian relations. |

Why do some religions have Christain books of the Bible?
I heard that the Greek Orthodox Christian Faith has another Bible Other Christians. And the Christian groups use different versions of the Bible itself, with a slightly different translations. Is true? Who has the right to the Bible? Presumaby each group have the right to be charged. Should I be punished if I happen to take the "bad" and interpret the Bible a passage incorrectly? Should I ask for help from others to understand the meaning or is it more important to work things myself? "No, t the best option to learn the original language of the Bible (Greek and Hebrew?) And thus obtain a more exact personal message. Does learning two languages seem hard? Of course, if your eternal salvation depends not so much to ask.
Why decadent thinking? If people have different sources each of them can not be a Christian, no doubt ..
