Faith of our Fathers: A Colloquium on Orthodoxy for Lutherans



This is some good stuff!!!

You can hear lectures online from some Orthodox academics and clergy, all of them converts from Lutheranism, on various subjects like Augustine and ecclesiology, justification, Scripture, and the Trinity.

The Reformers and the Orthodox

I had been familiar with the correspondence between Patriarch Jeremias of Constantinople and the early Reformers of Tübingen, but still found this paper on the subject fascinating. Check it out. I hadn't known, for instance, that the Reformers actually sent a kind of "embassy" to Constantinople, or that they drew up a Greek version of the Augsburg Confession that was not just a translation, but an earnest attempt to communicate Reformation concepts to the Greek and Orthodox mind.
