Rating:
Summary: A Great Place to Start
Review: Clark Carlton has written an excellent cathecism of Orthodox dogma. This book is well written, up to date and it covers some of the most essential elements of Orthodox teaching. I would recommend this as one of the first books anyone interested in Orthodoxy should read. It is also a great place for Orthodox Christians who simply want to familiarize themselves with the basics.

Summary: Outstanding Introduction to the Orthodox Church
Review: This book is one in a series by author Clark Carlton. It is an excellent intro to Orthodoxy for anyone Orthodox or otherwise. Mr. Carlton explains clearly and concisley what the trinity is and why its so important to Christians.
