Product Description
Archbishop Averky approaches the New Testament first and foremost not as a literary work of antiquity, but as the revelation of Jesus Christ as God in the flesh. Writing in the tradition of biblical exegetes, such as St John Chrysostom, Blessed Theophylact of Bulgaria, and St Theophan the Recluse, he provides a commentary that is firmly grounded in the teaching of the Church, manifested in its liturgical hymnography and the works of the Holy Fathers.

For Home Library or Special Gift
Posted by Joanna Higginbotham on 9th Oct 2024
Along with the Bible and the Synaxaristes, Holy Fathers' Teachings make up the backbone of an Orthodox home library. The advantage to commentary of a modern Father is that he includes all the Fathers before him in his teachings. Fr. Seraphim Rose recognized the value of Abp. Averky's teachings for Americans; and old Jordanville also saw this and translated many of Abp. Averky's sermons into English. If you have only one Holy Father commentary on the New Testament in your home library, let it be this one. These books are heirloom qualituy and/or they can be given as a special gift, such as a wedding present. The next generation greatly needs grounding in the old ROCOR. The more of these sets that are found in Orthodox homes, the better it will be for now and years from now for our Church.
