A Life Together: Wisdom of Community from the Christian East

A Life Together

Wisdom of Community from the Christian East

2011 • 154 pages

Short review: This is a look at the importance and mystery of community from a Russian Orthodox perspective. I consciously try to read at least one Roman Catholic or Orthodox writer every couple months because I think the different perspective on Christianity is important. I especially appriate Orthodox concept of mystery in faith. What I appriciate can also be what irritates me. Many Orthodox books are rambling, looking at the same thing from a variety of perspective and still never quite getting there. So what I end up reading for are snippets of greatness. This book has some snippets, but it is also rambling.
