Dear RightBelieving, Zone, PneumaPsucheSoma, JimmyDiggs, and other friends.
Hello. I'm back. At my new apartment west of where I used to live in Erie PA. I was
Scotth1960. My new name is at my new email address so that's why I changed names.
I am now OldOrthodoxChristian
God bless you, Zone. God bless you, RightBelieving.
I have not much to say now.
I just recommend the following book for all to read.
Hierodeacon Gregory. (1995). The Church, Tradition, Scripture, Truth, and Christian Life:
Some Heresies of Evangelicalism and an Orthodox Response. Etna, CA, 96027 Center For
Traditionalist Orthodox Studies. ISBN 0-911165-24-X
"This short treatise is an uncompromising and seemingly polemical response to many of
the sectarian ideas of Protestant Evangelicalism, a phenomenon with its intellectual roots
in the Reformation but its ethos in American folk religion. Evangelicalism takes many of
its theological ideas -- its novel ecclesiology, its notion of Scriptural primacy, and its
emphasis on personal revelation -- from the Reformation; many of its more unsavory
elements -- a disdain for tradition, and appalling ignorance of the Christian East, and a
provincialism foreign to Christian universalism --, however, are the product of rural
America. That peculiar blend of Protestant reformism and American parochialism which
characterize the more militant Evangelical demands, it seems to me, the kind of treat-
ment this book provides -- a treatment less polemical than blunt and honest. To break
through the crust of religious and theological prejudice that often covers the fragile
core of Protestant apologetics, one must employ heavy and sturdy tools. Deacon Father
Gregory has done just that. But having reached the core of Protestant theory that under-
lies Evangelicalism, he treats the substance of Reformed thought with care, objectively
and charitably pointing out its wrong assumptions, its psychological biases, and its
historical myopia. This book is an especially useful tool for Orthodox who wish to under-
stand Evangelicalism and how it differs from Orthodoxy -- something of great urgency
at a time when certain Evangelical groups, ignorant of its true beliefs and its essential
opposition to the tenets of Evangelicalism itself, have superficially embraced our Faith."
