Show Notes

The 2,000-year-old Orthodox Church, rooted in the East, is the most ancient Church in the world. In the West, the Holy Scripture is typically approached using an academic religious philosophical method, but academic study can only take one as far as rational and imaginitive ideas *about* God and spirituality, but not to the direct experience of God. The Orthodox Church, which received the Old Testament and both wrote and collected the New Testament texts, approaches the Bible as spiritual Scripture that invites us all into a life-changing experience of divine grace.
