The Bible and the Holy Fathers for Orthodox: Daily Scripture Readings and Commentary for Orthodox Christians

Complied and Edited by Johanna Manley
With a Foreword by Bishop Kallistos Ware

“The Bible and the holy fathers have been presented here from the Orthodox Christian point of view, not only for Orthodox, but also as an introduction for those of other persuasions who would like to gain some insight into the mind and spirit of Orthodoxy. Indices have been included to facilitate use for Bible study or sermons. [...]This work is particularly addressed to those who set aside an hour daily, without fail, for prayer and meditation. This prayer hour, which includes the daily readings[...], is considered to be the key for success in every endeavor of the day and the spiritual key to heaven. With this practice, plus regular church attendance, the help of a trusted priest or spiritual counselor, and by the grace of God , we can say assuredly with St. Paul, ‘I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me’ (Phil. 4:13).”
