Salvation in the Orthodox Understanding - Paperback

The subject of salvation has preoccupied the minds of the believers throughout the ages. "What must I do to be saved?" Throughout the centuries, many erroneous teachings have surfaced and then faded into oblivion when the Orthodox faith was defended by the fathers of the Church. In this book, His Holiness Pope Shenouda III, one of our time's greatest fathers of the Church, treats the subject of salvation with such meticulousness and thoroughness as to dispel all doubts and misunderstandings regarding the Orthodox understanding of salvation. His Holiness explains the requirements and conditions of salvation in his customary clear, accessible, and yet utterly profound way, demonstrating unparalleled familiarity with the subject. His Holiness also addresses many of the Holy Scriptures that have been misunderstood and misused, and that have been used to mislead many. He explains their true meaning through the proper and sound use of the Holy Scriptures. This book is certainly one of the rare studies that has extensively treated the subject of salvation according to the Orthodox upright understanding.
