Through Western Eyes: Eastern Orthodoxy A Reformed Perspective
A book recommendation from Nik Brownell:
"Through Western Eyes (Eastern Orthodoxy: a Reformed Perspective)" by Robert Letham
This is a great book by Robert Letham (writer of the Eastern Orthodox section of the ESV Study Bible) which surveys the history of orthodoxy and how the church split occurred between the east (Eastern Orthodoxy) and the west (Catholicism). It also explains the major theological differences between modern Reformed Evangelicalism and Eastern Orthodoxy and how these differences came to be. This book is incredibly reader friendly and provides a fantastic structure in which you can properly assess Orthodoxy's tradition inspired beliefs compared to the Reformed Evangelicalism's beliefs, which are dictated by Scripture, the Word of God, alone. Letham will grant you a great understanding of this situation, but be sure to draw your own conclusions using this wonderful tool.
