Victories of Orthodoxy: Homilies in which are discussed in a forthright and analytical manner Iconoclasm, Orthodox Mysticism, the False Union of Florence, the Calendar Change, Traditional Iconography, Sacred Music, and Ecumenism; and the stand of the Orthodox Christian Church regarding these.

By Constantine Cavarnos “In this book are presented two homilies which I delivered at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Theotokos in Atlanta, Georgia on[...]one of the great feasts of the Orthodox Church, called 'The Sunday of Orthodoxy' and 'The First Sunday of the Fasts.' [...]My first homily[...]was 'Victory over Iconoclasm,' a subject very appropriate for the occasion. My next homily was[...]'Victories of Orthodoxy.' My speech of the previous evening, with the idea of victory, provided the motif of the various parts of my Sunday talk. In the latter, I discussed six other actual or potential victories of Orthodoxy over unwarrantable innovation or heresies, during the millennium that followed the ninth century victory over Iconoclasm.” —“Preface” CONTENTS    PREFACE 1 VICTORY OVER ICONOCLASM 2 VINDICATION OF ORTHODOX MYSTICISM 3 THE FALSE UNION OF FERRARA-FLORENCE NULLIFIED 4 THE NEW CALENDAR OPPOSED 5 MODERNIST ICONOGRAPHY VICTORIOUSLY OPPOSED 6 BYZANTINE MUSIC WEATHERS ASSAULTS 7 TOWARDS VICTORY OVER ECUMENISM    EPILOGUE    APPENDIX A:       THE CALENDAR INNOVATION       By ARCHIMANDRITE GABRIEL OF DIONYSIOU    APPENDIX B:       MORE ON THE CALENDAR PROBLEM       By CONSTANTINE CAVARNOS    APPENDIX C:       SOME REMARKS ON ECUMENISM       By ARCHIMANDRITE GEORGIOS KAPSANIS    GLOSSARY    INDEX OF PROPER NAMES Item Number: BKC511C Publication data: Belmont, MA: Institute for Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies, 1997 Format: hardcover Number of pages: 109 Dimensions (l × w × h): 22.3 cm × 14.4 cm × 1.3 cm Additional information: black-and-white illustrations ISBN: 1‒884729‒30‒4 $7.95 (USD)
