The Orthodox Faith
Saint John Of Damascus
Read by Jonathan Lange





The Orthodox Faith is the classic epitome of the Early Greek Fathers. Writing just before the last of the truly Ecumenical Councils (787), he remains to this day, the last of the Eastern theologians whole-heartedly received by the West. This work, then, is an ecumenical touchstone that remains authoritative in Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism (through Peter Lombard's Sentances) and in all Reformation Churches interested in purging late medieval accretions and returning to the developed orthodoxy of Creedal Christianity.

history, science, church history, theology LOVE IT





A LibriVox Listener
I was not the best student in school. As an adult I crave knowledge but I spend my day driving. I am not content to know what I know because I've been taught in school or church my whole life. I want to know about church history and theology from Athanasius and Basil. I want to learn about Greek history and mythology from Herodotus and Homer. I want to learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from Einstein. It's what I call source text. I listen to it all day long every day when I'm working. Keep the source text coming so I can read with my ears while work.
Excellent Reader!

This is the first ever audio book reader that has succeeded to hold my attention. i'm looking forward to reading more titles from this platform.⁶





Zachary
Amazing explanation of many theological topics. I will listen multiple times just so I can grasp what I can. Although I listened through and through, the depth of St John's wisdom is like a vast ocean which bends over the horizon of my mind
Valuable Work





Odditor
Very much enjoyed listening to this impressive work from church history. Such excellent discussions, book 3 in particular is a remarkable treatment of Christology. Thank you to the reader.
