The Tradition of the Adoration of the Theotokos in the Orthodox Church by David Muskhelishvili Pdf

The collection is intended for readers interested in scientific and religious issues, generally for all humanitariansâphilologists, historians, philosophers, theologians, sociologists, etc.âwho are interested in the role and traditions of the Church. The title of the proposed publication, "The Tradition of the Adoration of the Theotokos in the Orthodox Church", implies the phenomenon of the Virgin Mary as one of the basic values of mankind. Theotokos teaches us not only to love and to live in peace, but She Herself is a perfect example of these virtues. Tradition of Theotokos' Adoration in the history of mankind is the manifestation of love, compassion and tolerance in different periods of time and in different countries. Apart from the Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant scholars, scientists from Israel had also expressed their desire to participate in the symposium, which had three sessions: theology, history and culture. Over the centuries, Georgia, which had been surrounded by a huge number of enemies, has survived and Georgia's survival is greater than the earthly logic. This can only be explained by the miracle of God. The phenomenon of the Virgin Mary has the greatest place in Georgia. It is the foundation of our national identity. The Georgian nation has always showed respectful adoration to his Patron. Adoration to the Mother of God has been not only gratitude for the grace received from the Heavenly Queen, but also the height and strength of virtues. Unfortunately, in the last centuries, blasphemous power led to the destruction of the tradition of adoration of God and Theotokos. This publication will help a reader to realize that being under the protection of the Mother of God is a great responsibility: a nation that does not know its own responsibility toward God and Theotokos won't move forward and won't be developed on the path of peace and integrity. It will be of a great importance to explain to a reader what the love to God, and therefore to human, means.

Dr, Tsichlis traces the historical development of the Dormition as a phenomenon which ultimately reflects the source of our salvation: Jesus Christ.

Orthodox Christianity and Gender by Helena Kupari,Elina Vuola Pdf

The Orthodox Christian tradition has all too often been sidelined in conversations around contemporary religion. Despite being distinct from Protestantism and Catholicism in both theology and practice, it remains an underused setting for academic inquiry into current lived religious practice. This collection, therefore, seeks to redress this imbalance by investigating modern manifestations of Orthodox Christianity through an explicitly gender-sensitive gaze. By addressing attitudes to gender in this context, it fills major gaps in the literature on both religion and gender. Starting with the traditional teachings and discourses around gender in the Orthodox Church, the book moves on to demonstrate the diversity of responses to those narratives that can be found among Orthodox populations in Europe and North America. Using case studies from several countries, with both large and small Orthodox populations, contributors use an interdisciplinary approach to address how gender and religion interact in contexts such as, iconography, conversion, social activism and ecumenical relations, among others. From Greece and Russia to Finland and the USA, this volume sheds new light on the myriad ways in which gender is manifested, performed, and engaged within contemporary Orthodoxy. Furthermore, it also demonstrates that employing the analytical lens of gender enables new insights into Orthodox Christianity as a lived tradition. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of both Religious Studies and Gender Studies.

Welcome to the Orthodox Church by Frederica Mathewes-Green Pdf

Welcome to the Orthodox Church—its history, theology, worship, spirituality, and daily life. This friendly guide provides a comprehensive introduction to Orthodoxy, but with a twist: readers learn by making a series of visits to a fictitious church, and get to know the faith as new Christians did for most of history, by immersion. Mathews-Green provides commentary and explanations on everything from how to “venerate” an icon, the Orthodox understanding of the atonement, to the Lenten significance of tofu. It’s the perfect book for inquirers and newcomers, but even readers who have been Orthodox all their lives say they learned things they never knew before. Enjoyable, easy-to-read, and leavened with humor, Welcome to the Orthodox Church is a gracious guide to the ancient faith of the Christian East.

Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos by Lawrence R. Farley Pdf

Zion in the Old Testament is a type of the Holy Mother of God. As God chose to dwell in Zion and thus blessed and glorified her, so God also chose to dwell in Mary and to bless and glorify her. In the New Testament, Jerusalem is revealed as both a virgin and a mother¿just like the Holy Theotokos. This akathist draws on scriptures that reveal this image of Mary as Zion, so that we may see anew Christ's Gospel work revealed in the Old Testament.

The Burning Bush by Sergius Bulgakov Pdf

The first component in Bulgakov s minor theological trilogy . In this book Sergius Bulgakov refutes the Roman Catholic dogma of the Immaculate Conception and discusses the Orthodox veneration of the Mother of God. The Burning Bush is a consideration of the personal sinlessness of Mary, the truth of which Bulgakov fi nds grounded in both Gospel witness and the liturgical tradition of the church. Though his most controversial legacy to the theological community, Bulgakov s Sophiology nevertheless is critical to understanding his Mariology. This volume is more than mere sophiological speculation, however, as anthropology, eschatology, original sin, human sanctity, and sexuality all fi nd their way into Bulgakov s exploration of the mystery of the woman chosen by God to give birth freely to the Christ. / In this book, unique in the Russian Orthodox literature, the great theologian Sergius Bulgakov illuminates various aspects of the Church s veneration of the Mother of God. Like all of Bulgakov s devotional books, this is not a work of abstract theologizing, but a work of prayer, opening up a vision of the mystical reality that forms the foundation of our relations to the Ever-Virgin and her relation to us. Thomas Allan Smith s translation is superb, and in his first-rate introduction he does an excellent job of elucidating Bulgakov s sophiological approach. Boris Jakim / Thomas Allan Smith and Eerdmans deserve an immense debt of gratitude for providing a long-awaited English translation of this pivotal work of the leading Russian Orthodox theologian of the twentieth century. Even more, Smith s translation is careful, nuanced, and yet preeminently readable. . . . Western Christians and non-Christians alike often see Orthodoxy as a fascinating, exotic, and mysterious form of Christianity. The Burning Bush, in Smith s translation, helps the reader recognize both Orthodoxy s inner coherence and rationality and its rootedness in a profoundly sublime appreciation of creation s beauty and magnificence. . . . Smith s list of Bulgakov s sources is a simple yet indispensable tool for the scholarly reader. This translation will serve us all well for decades to come. Myroslaw Tataryn
