Homilies on the Orthodox Faith

A cycle by Nikolaos Sotiropoulos

Homilies on the Orthodox Faith by Nikolaos Sotiropoulos expound and defend the faith: the Trinity and the two natures of Christ, the Church and her mysteries, the virtues against pride and the sins of the tongue, and the refutation of sects, spiritualism, and ecumenism. The samples ground these subjects in Scripture and the saints.
