Reviews

[Christian Proano]

More of a pamphlet than a monograph. The authors either was too concise or tried to cramp too much information in a short space. The end result is that brevity eclipsed clarity. Always respecting the authors the following is just an opinion: It reads more like a college paper. If the reader is not familiarized with the Orthodox position of Scripture and Tradition and how they both fit, then this is not the resource to start inquiries.

[Christopher Keller]

Most I got out of this was the claim that EO holds scripture and tradition as the same authority because the post apostolic church did.

As far as what's objectively defining (outside of the 7 councils) for their dogma seems very vague.

[Caden Cramsey]

This is probably the best introduction to the relationship between Scripture and Tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy. Recommend to anyone.
