My biggest takeaway reading this book is the importance of passing on the truths of orthodoxy as well as skills to discern truth in our current culture and whatever it may become; likewise, to also seek to inspire the younger generation to understand the importance of and desire orthodoxy not only in knowledge but in practice and with love.
There were many nuggets throughout each chapter of the book that I took in deeply and gleaned so much from. A few of these were:
“Nothing could be more important for confessing our faith in Jesus than a proper understanding of the One whose name we bear.”
“Christians care about getting the details right because we recognize the consequences of getting them wrong.”
“The beating heart of orthodoxy begins with the childlike wonder of conversion, and the heart of orthodoxy beats on as we celebrate and see the world through the conversion of others.”
For me, the book’s later chapters were mostly better than the earlier ones. While reading the first half I was ready to rate it 3 stars; however, later chapters led me to raise it to 3.5 stars. My favorite sections of the book were the discussions of the Church fathers and their working through doctrine (such as Augustine and Pelagius) as well as the chapter on heresy.
I received a review copy of this book for free from Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. All opinions are my own.… (mehr)
