"Wade In The River"

The Story of the African Christian Faith
by Father Paisus Altschul

Format: Soft Bound

Description:
Offers a historically informed and theologically profound rebuttal to the assertion that Christianity is a white man's religion. This book corrects the mistaken tendency (still widespread in our culture) to identify Christianity with Europeans and European-Americans. It does so by reorienting our view of Christianity away from its presence in Europe towards its ancient history in Africa. The early introduction of Christianity in Egypt, to Nubia, and to Ethiopia, its unbroken history in those sites belies the idea that Christianity is or was ever an exclusively European religion. African bishops, monks, theologians, and saints played a crucial role in the history of Christian orthodoxy, piety, and practice during the early centuries. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". 242 pages.

"Unseen Warfare"

by L. Scupoli

Format: Soft Bound

Description:

This spiritual classic was written by Lorenzo Scupoli, a sixteenth century Venetian priest. In the general rapport between Western and Eastern Christendom, it reached Nicodemus of Mt. Athos and later, in the nineteenth century, Theophane the Recluse, both of whom edited and translated the work. Rich in its references to the teachings of the saints and Fathers, Unseen Warfare combines the insights of West and East on that spiritual combat which is the road to perfection.
