	Orthodoxy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word orthodoxy, from the Greek ortho ('right', 'correct') and doxa ('thought', 'teaching'), is typically used to refer to the correct theological or doctrinal observance of religion, as determined by some overseeing body.
		Apostasy, for example is a violation of orthodoxy that takes the form of abandonment of the faith, be it for some form of atheism or for some other faith, a concept largely unknown before the adoption of Christianity as the official religion of Rome.
		The concept of orthodoxy is the most prevalent and even inherently pervasive in nearly all forms of organized monotheism, but orthodoxic belief is not usually overly emphasized in polytheistic or animist religions.

	Orthodoxy (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The book is developed as an intellectual quest by a spiritually curious person who is looking for the ultimate truth about the meaning of life and ends up with his own truth, made exactly to fit human needs.
		In keeping with this detachment from dogmatic religion, the book has barely any quotation from Scripture or any authoritative statement by a religious authority.
		It is mostly presented as a free intellectual inquiry by somebody who is looking for an explanation of the mysteries of human existence and wants that explanation to be satisfactory to his own reason.

	Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton - Book Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		'Orthodoxy' is a rich, thoughtful attempt at an explanation and defence of the deeper ideas and values which underlie Christian thought and faith.
		Part of the undeniable charm of Orthodoxy is this uncompromising approach to the broad questions of thought and understanding.
		Orthodoxy is, in conclusion, a classic with a reputation well-earned, not least for its widespread appeal and durability.

	Lecture 12: Orthodoxy
		Orthodoxy is the trunk of the tree from which all the other branches of Chesterton grow.
		Besides the fact that almost every sentence in the book is a show-stopper, the next problem is that the next sentence, or even the next word is never what you expect — which makes you lose the thread of the main argument.
		The word Orthodoxy means, literally “straight doctrine,” and Chesterton explains why it is so important to get the doctrine exactly right; and why even a slight divergence from the truth has to be fiercely opposed.

		This particular book is regularly referred to and relied upon in evangelical works on all sorts of subjects.
		And clearly, it is a book that many Roman Catholics will empathize with due to its clear advancement of the Roman Catholic church as the purest and most correct source of religion.
		As such, Yancey's introduction to this book mindlessly strikes out against other evangelicals who don't see the world the way he does, and it is clear that his inspiration lies at least in part in Chesterton.

	Eastern Orthodoxy and The Urantia Book
		The core beliefs of Orthodoxy were spelled out in the Seven Ecumenical Councils of the early centuries of Christianity, which met between A.D. 325 and 787.4 The great Patristic age of speculative mystical theology is long over, but latent in "Holy Tradition" are images, practices, and doctrines that can easily lend themselves to creative development.
		For example, a great revival of Russian Orthodoxy in the 19th century that was induced (at least in part) by the translation of The Philokalia into Russian quickly reached new heights of innovative theology (such as Soloviev, Bulgakov, and Berdayev) and of religious art (such as Dostoevsky).
		Schaeffer's book is a sustained polemic against the narrowing of the theological horizon that is represented by modern Protestantism when contrasted with Orthodoxy.

	Brian McLaren - Books
		The book turned out to be a confession - as in a confession of faith, not of sin (although some might think...).
		I started this book as a totally nonfiction treatise on Christianity and postmodernity, but after I got about 100 pages into it, I realized the book was on the road to becoming 500 pages of abstraction - and no one would read it.
		This book introduces all the topics I explore in my other books, and many churches have used it for group study, finding it a helpful (and gentle) introduction to the conversation about Christian faith-life-mission and the emerging postmodern culture.

	Amazon.com: The Rebirth of Orthodoxy : Signs of New Life in Christianity: Books: Thomas C. Oden (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		At the midpoint of the book, he discloses his own path from the radical left to orthodox belief, a personal narrative that explains his strong aversion to modern thought and his belief that any openness to modern ideas necessarily leads to apostasy.
		Oden argues in the beginning pages of this book that the theological quest for orthodoxy is well underway within the Christian and Jewish traditions who both are seeking their founding roots through the reading and contextualizing of their most ancient and authoritative writings and commentators into this century.
		His distrust of Enlightenment ideology and individualism is sometimes overstated, and as a scholar of the writings of the ancient church fathers he sometimes gives the impression that he regards any current theological work which does not reflect their ideas and thoughts as less worthy of consideration.

	Challies Dot Com: Book Review - A Generous Orthodoxy
		The book begins with an introduction where the author establishes the audience this book is intended for.
		Orthodoxy is "a way of seeing and seeking, a way of living, a way of thinking and loving and learning that helps what we believe become more true over time, more resonant with the infinite glory that is God." So to McLaren, orthodoxy is thinking or opinion, not doctrine.
		Chapter 0 concludes with acknowledgment that many parts of this book are far too simplistic, and affirmations of the dangers of absolutism and relativism, of inclusivism, exclusivism and universalism and his unfair bias in which he is overly harsh towards Conservative Protestants and overly sympathetic towards Catholics, Eastern Orthodox and liberals.

		Her self-proclaimed purpose for writing the book is to chronicle the stories of young people whose lives are shaped by the decision to embrace the moral roots of orthodox Christianity.
		As for the book's broader theme, Carroll makes some sweeping generalizations about mainline Protestantism, generalizations that support her thesis but are not entirely accurate.
		For instance, to claim that the defection of 20 Campus Crusade leaders to the Eastern Orthodox Church marked a "wave of conversions of Protestants disaffected by the liberalism of mainline churches" is erroneous on two counts.

	G.K. Chesterton: Champion of Orthodoxy
		Chesterton's reputation as one of the key figures in Christian literature during the 20th century is linked inextricably with the concept of "orthodoxy." His book of that title, published in 1908, was, according to Wilfrid Ward, a major milestone in the development of Christian thought.
		In the wake of the publication of Orthodoxy, he was no longer tolerated as a young and precocious writer, but was considered provocative and a threat to the agnostic status quo.
		His book, Literary Converts (Ignatius Press, 1999), inspired this ten-part series which focuses on some of the leading writers at the forefront of the Catholic literary revival in the 20th century.

		Chesterton's books often defy reviewing and 'Orthodoxy' is probably the prime instance of the class.
		He himself admits that this is 'a sort of slovenly autobiography', and that it details the intellectual and emotional path that brought him to the orthodoxy of the church and the Apostles' Creed in a 'set of pictures rather than a series of deductions'.
		This book is Chesterton's defence of orthodox Christianity.

		This at least seems to me the main problem for philosophers, and is in a manner the main problem of this book.
		To show that a faith or a philosophy is true from every standpoint would be too big an undertaking even for a much bigger book than this; it is necessary to follow one path of argument; and this is the path that I here propose to follow.

		In this book, Brian takes a look at the parts of the Christian church that he finds helpful in his journey and for many it's a breath of fresh air, the only thing that annoys me is that I didn't write the book first.
		This book is not an easy read, not because he is a complex and inarticulate writer, but because there are moments when you are taken beyond the margins of your own thinking, your own experiences, your own traditions, your own prejudices, your own stupidity.
		Some will hate this book I'm sure, especially those with nothing left to learn, who have everything nailed down, sown up and are waiting for the rest of us to catch up with you...
