This book sets the modern scientific picture of the universe and man's place in it against the background of pre-Christian and Christian cosmology and anthropology. The author shows unambiguously how our acceptance of this picture has literally enslaved us to a vast collective lie whose ramification in the major spheres of our thought and action cannot but vandalize and desecrate both ourselves and the world we live in. In the last chapter he writes of the restitution of sacred cosmology.

This is the first substantive writing in English which seeks to present an Orthodox understanding of same-sex relationships, rooted both in theology and pastoral practice. It seeks to place the issue of same- sex attraction within the wider context of the nature of sin and the ascetical struggle to which those who desire to live a life in Christ are called. "A provocative book that will surely help everyone who reads it!" - Timothy George, Executive Editor Christianity Today

The ecological vision of Orthodox Christianity portrays creation as God’s epiphany and the human person as a connecting link between creation and Creator. Christian love is manifest through "the right use of material things." With fresh wisdom and insight, Elizabeth Theokritoff draws on the Fathers, the liturgy, saints' lives, and modern sources to challenge both theologians and non-theologians to change the way they think. This is a compelling read.God is "encoded" for us in everything that he has made. ...The implications of this are clear: just as we revere the Scriptures ...so we are to reverence the “book” of creation.
