Description
The reception of converts to the Orthodox Church has long been a topic of debate. This book explores the patristic witness and the boundaries of the Church in relation to various heterodox confessions. It delves into the teachings of the Saints, particularly those from Mt. Athos, who offered guidance on the one baptism unto remission of sins. The Kollyvades Fathers, a group of theologians from 18th-19th century Greece, played a significant role in shaping the Church's stance on converts. Their wisdom remains relevant today as we navigate heterodox ideas regarding the Church. This new edition of the book includes additional explanatory footnotes to provide further clarification on complex aspects of this topic. Published by Uncut Mountain Press, this book offers insight into the critical importance of understanding the Orthodox Church's boundaries and identity.
