A Lutheran Looks at Eastern Orthodoxy

Each volume in the Lutheran Looks At series gives a brief look at the teachings of a particular denomination and compares them to confessional Lutheranism. This provides an invaluable tool for comparative study and helps readers better understand the beliefs of neighbors, coworkers, and friends.

The fifth volume in this series provides a Lutheran perspective on the teachings of the second largest Christian denomination in the world—the Eastern Orthodox church. Author Robert Koester explains the history behind the split between the Western and Eastern Christian churches and the central teachings of Orthodoxy. This book includes the author's own personal impressions of eight Eastern Orthodox churches he visited in Southeast Wisconsin.
