I purchased this book in order to gain a better understanding of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Bishop Ware goes into the historical background of the Church followed by its theology. It will definitely be a fascinating read for anyone who likes these subjects. I cannot think of anything I did not like that is worth mentioning. This is a good choice as a book explaining who the Orthodox Church is and what they believe.
This is agreat history of the Orthodox church as he was one of the translators og the five vol of the Philokalia the last vol just this year.

Fr. Ware is an interesting and informative author.. If you are already Orthodox or just interested in the Orthodox religion, you should REALLY read this book
Gives a good summary of the Orthodox Church from their perspective, however the EOC is way off on a lot of issues Biblically. Read Colossians and Romans before and after reading this.
