About the Author

Ernst Benz (1907-1978) was one of the most distinguished contemporary German theologians and perhaps the leading Western authority on Eastern Orthodoxy. He studied classical philology and archeology at Tubingen, Berlin and Rome, and turned to the study of Protestant theology. He became professor of ecclesiastical and dogmatic history at the Philipp University at Marburg on the Lahn. He is the author of Buddhism or Communism and Theology of Electricity: On the Encounter and Explanation of Theology and Science in the 17th and 18th Centuries.

Reviews

-Ernst Benz's book is a welcome addition to the growing library of competent expositions of the present state of Eastern Christianity. The author, who is one of the foremost experts on this subject in Germany, has chosen an original scheme.- --Nicolas Zernov, Church History -Benz's study is well worth reading as an introduction to a religion little known in the West, either by Slavic scholars or by the general public.- --Robert E. MacMaster, Slavic Review This comprehensive book is an excellent introduction to the Eastern Orthodox Church. It is written with clarity and sympathy by one who possesses an extensive knowledge and understanding of his subject.- --J. L. Stewardson, Journal of Bible and Religion -This is an attractive and accessible text clearly written as an exercise in the demystification of Orthodoxy for non-Orthodox inquirers.- --Logos
