ECPubs wins prestigious CMA Book Award for “Lectures from Oxford” by world-renowned Orthodox theologian
Lectures from Oxford by the late Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, has received the Catholic Media Association Book Awards’ first place in the “Religious Book Series” category.
Fairfax, Va. – Eastern Christian Publications is honored to announce that its acclaimed series, Lectures from Oxford by the late Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, has received the Catholic Media Association Book Awards’ First Place in the “Religious Book Series” category.
This momentous recognition celebrates a landmark contribution to contemporary Eastern Christian thought—an extraordinary series of lectures that, until now, were only heard by Oxford theological students. Thanks to Jack Figel’s (ECP Publisher) exclusive video recording and transcriptions, Lectures from Oxford now takes that rich academic and spiritual experience beyond the university walls. With profound insight into Patristics, Theology, Ecumenism, Liturgy, Spirituality, and Church History, this series invites readers into the depth and warmth of the Eastern Christian tradition—just as if they were students in one of his unforgettable Oxford classes.
“Kallistos had a natural gift of weaving together the writing of many sources into a single tapestry and was both engaging and educational,” according to the Preface of Volume II: Theology by John Chryssavgis, Archdeacon of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and close personal advisor to the Ecumenical Patriarch.
Presented in a beautifully produced, multi-volume set with photos, the series captures the warmth, wit, and profound wisdom that made Metropolitan Kallistos a delight in the classroom and a bridge-builder between East and West, tradition and modernity. These lectures serve as an essential resource for clergy, catechists, seminarians, scholars, and all Christians eager to deepen their understanding of the riches of the Eastern tradition.
In the same spirit of theological depth and liturgical insight, Eastern Christian Publications has also released Lectures from Rome—an extraordinary archive of 3 complete books and 30 transcribed video lectures by the legendary liturgist Archimandrite Robert Taft, SJ, recorded over the last two decades. It also includes 15 transcribed plenary sessions delivered by him at Orientale Lumen Conferences around the world. The collection contains ecumenical Forewords by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches. This powerful companion series illuminates the living tradition of Byzantine worship through the lens of one of the most respected voices in modern liturgical scholarship.
Don’t miss this opportunity to own two historic collections of Eastern Christian thought—recognized and revered by both East and West.
