Commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament

Boxed Set

Archbishop Averky approaches the New Testament first and foremost not as a literary work of antiquity, but as the revelation of Jesus Christ as God in the flesh. Writing in the tradition of biblical exegetes, such as St John Chrysostom, Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, and St Theophan the Recluse, he provides a commentary that is firmly grounded in the teaching of the Church, manifested in its liturgical hymnography and the works of the Holy Fathers.

Christian Orthodox Political Philosophy

A Theological Approach

This modest work is grounded in  the mission of the Church in the present world, both on an understanding of God as Trinity and in her mission to baptize diverse cultures. Though these specific proposals will by no means enjoy universal acceptance,  they will serve as a springboard for further dialogue as the Orthodox world seeks to apply these principles in all nations, no matter their current political circumstances.
