Three Views on Eastern Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism

More about the book

To some Western evangelicals, Eastern Orthodoxy's practices may appear mysterious or unbiblical, while Orthodox believers often view evangelicals as lacking the depth of centuries-old traditions. Are their differences so profound that engaging with one another compromises the gospel? This book explores the compatibility of Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism through the perspectives of five leading authorities. Bradley Nassif presents an Orthodox viewpoint that appreciates evangelicalism, arguing for compatibility. In contrast, Michael Horton and Vladimir Berzonsky represent the opposing stance from their respective backgrounds. George Hancock-Stefan and Edward Rommen provide a nuanced 'perhaps' from their evangelical and Orthodox perspectives. The interactive Counterpoints forum allows readers to compare and contrast these positions, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of both branches of Christianity. This exploration encourages readers to form their own conclusions about the potential for agreement. The Counterpoints series facilitates discussion and critique on significant Christian issues, encompassing topics related to Church Life and Bible and Theology.
