Summary
What does it mean to "think Orthodox"? What are the unspoken and unexplored premises and presumptions underlying what Christians believe? Orthodox Christianity is based on preserving the mind of the early Church, its phronema.
Dr. Jeannie Constantinou brings her more than 40 years' experience as a professor, Bible teacher, and speaker to bear in explaining what the Orthodox phronema is, how it can be acquired, and how that phronema is expressed in true Orthodox theology - as practiced by those who are properly qualified by both training and a deep relationship with Christ.

Another excellent Orthodox work.
I've been listening to Rowan Williams' 'Looking East in Winter' which I found quite hard to follow. Not so with 'Thinking Orthodox' which is intelligent but fairly easy to follow.
Orthodox Christianity has great theologians and yet it doesn't hold the intellect with the esteem that the Protestant and Catholic churches seem to. Those that live the faith are those that are in highest regard: saints; living and reposed, holy monks and nuns, spiritual elders etc. I feel that Protestantism is always after a new thing, a new angle or way of doing things whereas Orthodoxy passes down from generation to generation the accumulation of experience to guide you and to avoid unnecessary mistakes. Orthodoxy has been somewhat shackled by the oppression of Islam under the Ottoman Empire and then later on, communism. With freedom I can see it slowly grow in the West bringing back a certainty of belief.
Eugenia reads the book herself and is nice to listen to. It does what it says - gives you an understanding of the Orthodox view. I enjoyed it and will no doubt listen to it again soon, God willing !

comes across bitter and elitist
If I wasn't Orthodox this certainly wouldn't endear me to the faith, there's definitely good stuff in there but you have to sift through some hypocrisy, bitter stories from the writer's past, and elitist judgemental content to get there.
