It is conversation that drives theology forward-the disagreements, the common ground, and the grappling together with sacred mysteries that helps each generation encounter ancient, irrevocable truths anew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong regarded as warring traditions, Eastern Orthodoxy and Roman Catholicism have been divided for over a thousand years, since the greatest schism in the history of the Christian movement. Now, two scholars of these traditions come together in a series of essays discussing some of the most important points of difference-and finding surprising common ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRev. David Andrew Fisher is a Catholic priest, and Rev. Bohdan Vasyliv is an Orthodox clergy member-and a former student of Rev. Fisher. Their friendship and thoughtful dialogue form the foundation for an invigorating book that is a strong step forward in healing a long-standing spiritual divide. With essays on the Virgin Mary, existentialism, and contrasting ideas on life after death, Light in the Darkness holds a wealth of conversation that is both encouraging and intellectually invigorating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a book for students of philosophy, theology, and history to recognize the surprising commonalities-and the beauty of diversity-in how divergent traditions have framed answers to ancient questions and transcendent mysteries. It is a book for clergy to find the words and frameworks that will help them heal divides and misconceptions in their communities. And it is a book for any avowed in the life of faith-to know that there is still wonder to be found in what we do not understand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Andrew Fisher, Bohdan Vasyliv\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798822968462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palmetto Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.32d","brand":"David Andrew Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46334776246527,"sku":"9798822968462","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/light-in-the-darkness-david-andrew-fisher-9798822968462","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
