Orthodox Readings of Augustine

Eastern Orthodox readings of the great Latin theologian.

This book not only presents Eastern Orthodox readings of the great Latin theologian but also demonstrates the very nature of theological consensus in ecumenical dialogue, from a referential starting point of the ancient and great Fathers. This collection exemplifies how once, the Latin and Byzantine churches, from a deep communion of the faith that transcended linguistic, cultural and intellectual differences - sang from the same page a harmonious song of the beauty of Christ.

The papers in this collection were initially delivered at the Orthodox Readings of Augustine Conference from June 14-16, 2007 at Fordham University as part of the Orthodox Christian Studies Program.
