Ancient Wisdom in Modern Verse

Arts & Literature

“These poetic paraphrases illuminate and sometimes expand upon ancient wisdom with insight, perspicacity, and often with great charm.”

God's Many-Splendored Image

Theology

“This book is a gift, written in a voice that is inviting, deeply personal, and generous. Yet the lucidity and accessibility of Harrison’s presentation never compromises the profundity and genuineness of its content, which is always true to the early Christian sources on which she draws. This book is also a rarity: comprehensible, practical, embodied theology. It is founded upon the author’s decades of study but also reflects a life lived in alertness to the Word of God spoken in a painfully broken world. It deserves, and will richly repay, the wide audience to which it is addressed.”

Light from the Christian East

Theology

“This is a lucidly written, highly approachable book that highlights some of the key distinctions between the 'Christian East' and the 'Christian West.' It shows the theological thinking of the Orthodox East to be the best-kept secret in the West. It will invite other studies that will rightly seek to draw the lines a little less sharply, but such responses will benefit greatly from the clarity of Payton's preliminary exposition.”

Partakers of the Life Divine

Paulos Mar Gregorios

Theology

“Paulos Mar Gregorios’ significance as a theologian, philosopher, and ecumenical giant extends far beyond India. Yet his geographic and cultural context is part of what makes his voice, in the diverse fields to which he contributed, so original and important. This long-overdue compendium is an indispensable companion to the understanding of traditional and modern theology.”

The Victory of the Cross

Theology

“We Orthodox Christians are either ignorant or biased about the true experience and faith of evangelicals. Either because we care too little or perhaps because we care too much, most of us aren't sufficiently versed in the points of reference, the tensions, the conflicts, or the confluences with evangelicals, except by way of clichés or exaggerations. In short, we Orthodox Christians don't know how to speak with evangelicals about our faith. For that, we need Jim Payton. In this fine book, Payton shows us once again that he is fully grounded in his own tradition and at the same time deeply knowledgeable about and open to learning about ours. Rooted in the Scriptures, he draws deeply into the patristic and liturgical tradition through which Orthodox Christians receive and understand them. In this way, he evokes an understanding of salvation that highlights different emphases yet reminds us of our common commitment to be biblical Christians. This book is highly illuminating for all Christians, including for us Orthodox.”

Theologia Crucis

Theology

“This book springs from deep learning and faith. It demonstrates, in an accessible tone, that despite (or maybe because of) the ubiquity of the Cross, we constantly need to be called back to a realization of what the Cross is: an impossible scandal, the most profound sign of divine love, the transfiguration of the world, and the transformation of our lives. What's more, we come to see that Luther's theology of the Cross is enlightening for all Christians.”
