Editorial Review: Product Description: A fascinating look at both Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism to uncover similarities and differences in the two traditions. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - First 100 pages...I'm giving this book five stars because of the first section. Nassif does an incredible job at showing how Eastern Orthodoxy is basically the epitome of the criterion for Evangelicalism, as defined by Evangelicals. The scheme he uses is the Bebbington quadrilateral, which may be becoming dated, but is still quite useful. The other sections are hit or miss, but Nassif covers most of what anyone would need to know for such an introduction to the dialog. Rating:  - An entirely pointless enterpriseTHREE VIEWS ON EASTERN ORTHODOXY AND EVANGELICALISM is one of Zondervan's "Counterpoint" books, where theological issues are debated by all sides of the issue. Here the "Yes" position is taken by Bradley Nassif (Orthodox), the "No" position is taken by Michael Horton (evangelical) and Vladimir Berzonsky (Orthodox), and finally a "Maybe" position is argued by George Hancock-Stefan (evangelical) and Edward Rommen (Orthodox).

To effectively meet this end, one has to be familiar with both sides, that is, one has to know how to speak the language of the other guy. Unfortunately this isn't accomplished. While the two Orthodox writers give a basic overview of Orthodox teaching, they fail in two ... Read More Rating:  - Insightful and Well Educated Scholars.......Well, AlmostThis book gets four stars because of both the great idea of comparing the two Christian traditions and Bradley Nassif. The other authors were very unprepared for the book. Michael Horton does the best job of the evangelicals but still gets some aspects of Orthodox theology wrong. Vladimir Berzonsky was the worst writer by far because he equated all evangelicals with Anabaptists in their theological views (particularly with the Sacraments). This is not his fault though, because the book itself does ... Read More Rating: - Most Useful In Beginning to Sort it OutIncreasing interest in the Eastern Orthodox is helped immensely with this book's publication. The three views pertains to five authorities giving their opinion as to comptability between Eastern Orthodoxy and evangelicalism. One says yes, two say no, and one maybe. You'll have to read to figure out who lines up with which compatibility assessment. What is good about the exchange is the format of major essay by one, than the others react. This is excellent format and provides salient interaction ... Read More
