Orthodox Study Bibles

If you are looking for a comprehensive study Bible that includes commentaries and insights from Orthodox theologians, consider adding an Orthodox Study Bible to your collection. It provides a deeper understanding of the scriptures through its extensive footnotes and explanations.

The Lives of the Saints

One of the pillars of Orthodox Christianity is the veneration of the saints. Their inspiring lives and teachings offer guidance and inspiration for our own spiritual journeys. Explore books that delve into the lives of prominent saints, such as St. John Chrysostom, St. Basil the Great, and St. Mary of Egypt.

Orthodox Spirituality

Orthodox spirituality encompasses various practices and disciplines that help believers grow closer to God. Discover books that explore prayer, asceticism, fasting, and the exploration of the Jesus Prayer. Learn from the wisdom of experienced spiritual fathers and mothers who have dedicated their lives to seeking God.

To have a solid foundation in our faith, it is essential to understand our church's history. Explore books that trace the origins and development of the Orthodox Church from its early days to the present. Learn about significant events, influential theologians, and the struggles faced by early Christians.

Iconography and Sacred Art
