The Old Testament in Eastern Orthodox Tradition
Pentiuc, Eugen J. (Tenured Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew; Director of the Th.M. Program, Tenured Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew; Director of the Th.M. Program, Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology)
This book examines the receipt, transmission, and interpretation of the Old Testament in the Eastern Orthodox tradition. Looking at the various ways Orthodox Christians sought to assimilate the Old Testament in the spiritual, liturgical, and doctrinal fabric of their faith community, Pentiuc pays special attention to: liturgy, iconography, monastic rules and canons, conciliar resolutions, and patristic works in Greek, Syriac and Coptic.
