About this listen

These books on Eastern Orthodoxy are intended to help readers to understand the lengthy process followed by the Orthodox Church since its formative stage in the first century, passing through the important, and for Orthodox churches, crucial, Byzantine period, to its present day position. By tracing the history of the church in this way and analyzing its spiritually rich doctrine and ethics I will try to show that the contemporary Orthodox Church has a historical link with the original and early Christian community.

    THEOSIS: FUSION OF MAN/WOMAN AND GOD? (A PATRISTIC, ORTHODOX PERSPECTIVE)

    Orthodoxy does not, like centring (prayer) for example, have to search for meditative techniques in Eastern religions or for contemplative techniques in the western Christian mystical way that begins with the stage of purification, continues to illumination and arrives at the unitive state of the soul with the Divine. The reason for this is not merely that Orthodoxy already has, or is, the way of hesychasm or the Jesus prayer, but that the entire theological framework of Orthodoxy expresses the belief in the idea of theosis or deification.

    Orthodox Liturgical music, as well as other church arts such as architecture or iconography, is part of the dogmatic tradition of the Orthodox Church and thus of its Holy Tradition, and a consequence of man’s creativity as a son of God made unto His image. Orthodoxy is a singing and praying culture. When Orthodox believers gather to pray, they sing, and much of the theology of the Orthodox Church is passed on through sacred song in the liturgical services. (Ángel F. Sánchez-Escobar, MA, PhD, ThD)https://www.amazon.es/dp/1505358469

    ORTHODOXY: CONTEMPORARY LITURGICS AND LITURGICAL CATECHESIS, 2009
    Aug 15 2023

    ÁNGEL FRANCISCO SÁNCHEZ ESCOBARIn this book, I deal with Orthodox worship as it is today by describing its prayer cycles, meaning of the holy services, liturgical books, Scriptural reading, and a process model of catechesis, linked to worship and the liturgical periods. I will not address western rites and Canon Law, but it is a fact that western rites are legitimate western continuation of liturgies celebrated in the undivided Church, before the Schism of 1054. Also, liturgical law is part of canon law, as it legislates the ways in which we celebrate, the actions we use to give life to those celebrations and the design and environment of the space in which we celebrate.https://www.amazon.es/dp/1511978945
