Oriental Orthodoxy Unveiled

by Andrew N.A. Youssef

Oriental Orthodoxy Unveiled offers an introduction to Oriental Orthodoxy general rather than introduce a single church within the communion. This work's chapters cover trinitarian theology, Christology, Anthropology, and Patrology.

This book serves as an introduction to the Orthodox faith rather than a comparison between the Orthodox faith and the confessions of other denominations.

This was a wonderful book! I read it during my Systematic Theology class and it just helped me put everything together better. The concepts were well expressed and the large print made it easier on the eyes

This is a phenomenal read! This book has helped me clarify a few things and take me into depth with some of the oriental Orthodoxy beliefs. I pray that the day comes when this book or sections of it are taught in the Coptic Orthodox church as it helps clarify in simple terms many of the widely debated topics in the various Coptic Orthodox circles. I think that many catechism and servants preparation classes would benefit from this book! Andrew is a great author, and I look forward to his future publications. Highly recommended for people who are interested in Oriental Orthodoxy!
