The New Testament: An Orthodox Perspective

A clear, insightful, honest, bold yet balanced achievement combining serious scholarly work and deep faith. This excellent book offers a brilliant and refreshing proposal for the synthesis of traditional Orthodox biblical exegesis represented by the Church fathers and modern biblical scholarship. Father Stylianopoulos convincingly demonstrates the need to keep both exegetical avenues open, as well as to take seriously into account the decisive and creative role of tradition and the living Church in the whole task of biblical hermeneutics.

Theodore G. Stylianopouls is Professor of New Testament at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology, Brookline, Massachusetts. He is the author and editor of several books, including Justin Martyr and the Mosaic Law (1975), The Spirit of Truth (1986), and The Good News of Christ (1991).
