To some Western evangelicals, the practices of Eastern Orthodoxy
seem mysterious and perhaps even unbiblical. Then again, from an
Orthodox perspective, evangelicals lack the spiritual roots
provided by centuries-old church traditions. Are the differences
between these two branches of Christianity so sharp that to shake
hands is to compromise the gospel itself? Or is there room for
agreement? Are Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism at all
compatible? Yes, no, maybe---this book allows five leading
authorities to present their different views, have them critiqued
by their fellow authors, and respond to the critiques. Writing from
an Orthodox perspective with a strong appreciation for
evangelicalism, Bradley Nassif makes a case for compatibility.
Michael Horton and Vladimir Berzonsky take the opposite stance from
their respective evangelical and Orthodox backgrounds. And George
Hancock-Stefan (evangelical) and Edward Rommen (Orthodox) each
offer a qualified perhaps. The interactive Counterpoints forum is
ideal for comparing and contrasting the different positions to
understand the strengths and weaknesses of these two important
branches of Christianity and to form a personal conclusion
regarding their compatibility. The Counterpoints series provides a
forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues
important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two
categories: Church Life and Bible and Theology. Complete your

How do Christians cultivate a vibrant and Christ-centered
spirituality that's rooted in biblical clarity? Spiritual
formation--the cultivation of a relationship with God--lies at the
heart of what it means to be a Christian in the body of Christ. But
with the rise of diverse spiritual practices, from Zen meditation
to out-of-body experiences, the idea of spirituality has become
watered down by postmodern culture. Christian spirituality, on the
other hand, embraces devotion to the triune God, abiding in Christ,
the pursuit of holiness, and the cultivation of virtues. But what
exactly falls within the scope Christian spirituality? This volume
of the Counterpoints series focuses on the Church's search for
spiritual identity, meaning, and significance as interpreted by
four of the major Christian traditions: Eastern Orthodoxy -
represented by Bradley Nassif Roman Catholic - represented by Scott
Hahn Progressive Protestant - represented by Joseph Driskill
Evangelical - represented by Evan Howard The Counterpoints series
presents a comparison and critique of scholarly views on topics
important to Christians that are both fair-minded and respectful of
the biblical text. Each volume is a one-stop reference that allows
readers to evaluate the different positions on a specific issue and
form their own, educated opinion.
