Creating the Canon

Biblical Studies & Commentaries

“For those who wrestle with the nature and significance of the scriptural canon in modern Christianity and wonder about its ancient origins, Benjamin Laird's book cuts a lucid and engaging path through many aspects of the canon's composition, formation, and authority. Laird writes both as a historian and as a Christian, combining critical attention to sources and hermeneutics with a personal sense of the importance of these questions today.”

Feasts for the Kingdom

Preaching & Worship

“From the first time I heard Fr. Khaled’s preaching, I always wanted to be able to savor this gift and return to his words. It is a delight that these homilies are appearing in print at last. The voice within these pages addresses needs of our times with pastoral sensitivity and situational particularity, ordered by the liturgical rhythm of the Byzantine church. At the same time, the homilies are composed with a deep, sonorous familiarity with Scripture as a way of thinking, speaking, and living in intimacy with Christ through the Holy Spirit in the sight of the Father. Their distinctive grace is at once to echo and to renew the patristic tradition; they offer a model for prayerful expression of godly love within a modern ecumenical ecclesia.”
