"This Confession, or Catechism, is one of those things more often mentioned
than actually read and studied.
Now it can be examined at first hand. It is, quite literally, a phenomenon:
an official doctrinal statement published
in and for the Orthodox church--militantly Calvinistic! It had to be
repudiated by the other Orthodox leaders--an
it was. But in the course of the controversy, here fully discussed, we are
provided with some vivid sidelights
on the murky problem of the respective roles of literary and liturgical
forms in the transit of Christian faith and
order through history." (p. 6) 160p frontis. bibliography $40.00
