the divine hypostasis called Heavenly Wisdom." And there are other half-true statements made throughout the book.

The book is a worthwhile introduction to Eastern Orthodoxy for those who are unacquainted with the subject. It is short, but is fair in bringing out the weaknesses and strength of the Orthodox Churches. Much interesting knowledge can be gleaned from it with regard to the history and present relationship of the Russian Church and the Russian government. There is a discussion of the Nestorian Church in China which existed there as far back as the seventh century, and there are a few brief biographies of some of the main leaders in Eastern Orthodoxy down through the ages. Finally, and of current interest, the author brings out the connection between Eastern Orthodoxy and the ecumenical movement.
