It is October 1592. Christopher Marlowe, the most accomplished
playwright in London, has written The Massacre at Paris for his
company, the Lord Admiral's Men. Bubonic plague has hit outlying
parishes, forcing theaters to close and postponing the season.
Ordinarily, the Rose Theatre would debut Marlowe's work, but its
subject-the St. Bartholomew Day's Massacre-is unpleasant and
mightinflame hostilities against Catholics and their sympathizers,
such as merchants on whom trade depends. A new company, the Lord
Strange's Men, boasts a young writer, William Shakespeare, who is
said to have several barnburners in the queue. A competition is
called to decide which company will reopen the theaters. Who will
most effectively represent the nation's ideals and energies, its
humor and grandeur? One troupe will gain supremacy, primarily for
literary but also for cultural, religious, and political reasons.
Two leading academic scholars offer the first comprehensive source
reader on the Eastern Orthodox church for the English-speaking
world. Designed specifically for students and accessible to readers
with little or no previous knowledge of theology or religious
history, this essential, one-of-a-kind work frames, explores, and
interprets Eastern Orthodoxy through the use of primary sources and
documents. Lively introductions and short narratives that touch on
anthropology, art, law, literature, music, politics, women's
studies, and a host of other areas are woven together to provide a
coherent and fascinating history of the Eastern Orthodox Christian
tradition.
We experience Orthodox Joy most prayerfully and powerfully during
the Divine Liturgy. Focusing on seven virtues, this book offers
practical advice for our daily journey by calling us to strive
towards living a different virtue every day. After receiving the
Eucharist with a deep and abiding joy during Mass, our most joyful
union and communion with God, we dedicate each day of the week to
these virtues: Monday, Humility; Tuesday, Purity; Wednesday,
Holiness; Thursday, Love; Friday, Longsuffering; Saturday, Prayer;
and Sunday, our return to Joy: The Joy of Orthodoxy. Deacon David
Lochbihler, J.D., celebrated The Joy of Orthodoxy on the day of his
Diaconate Ordination during the Feast of Saint Patrick in 2019 at
Saint Patrick Orthodox Church in Virginia. He also teaches fourth
grade at The Fairfax Christian School in Northern Virginia. After
graduating summa cum laude from the University of Notre Dame and
cum laude from the University of Texas School of Law, Deacon David
worked as a Chicago attorney for three years before becoming a
teacher and coach for three decades. He earned Master's degrees in
Elementary Education, Biblical Studies, and Orthodox Theology. His
varsity high school basketball and soccer teams captured four
N.V.I.A.C. conference championships. Deacon David authored Prayers
to Our Lady East and West in 2021.
In this work, the printed Greek confession books are subjected to
extensive analysis for the very first time. These books, which
appeared at the beginning of the 17th century in the orthodox East,
enjoyed unprecedented popularity in their time. This work focuses
on analyzing the origins of these confession books and their
sources, within the context of church policy. Through new findings,
which radically revise the knowledge accrued through previous
research, it makes an essential contribution to research on the
history of Orthodoxy under Ottoman rule.
