De auteur stelt zich in deze op als een vertegenwoordiger van een meer vooruitstrevende visie voor ieder die zich niet langer kan vinden in de beperkte opvattingen van de anti-Roomse stokpaardjes van de oudere theologen, en beschrijft de Orthodoxe Kerk, als een gelovig orthodox, door een principiële scheidingsl...

Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business (Luke 2:49 NKJV)? Other translations say “about My Father’s house.” Neither the Greek word for “business” nor “house” is found within this pivotal verse.

In deze uitgeschreven lezing van Nicolas Lossky, uitgesproken tijdens het vijfde Orthodoxe Congres in West-Europa, wor...
