Kepha,

At the risk of being presumptuous, I would like to recommend a few books that I have found to be life-changing, and which have a major relevance for studies of the Papacy, though they do not have the word “Papacy” in the title.

1. Richard Haugh. Photius and the Carolingians

2. John Romanides. Franks, Romans, Feudalism and Doctrine

3. Joseph P. Farrell. God, History, and Dialectic

4. Philip Sherrard. Church, Papacy, and Schism

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, these “too big for their britches” tomes are in my DNA. I’ll put it to you this way. You’ll be quoting these books till you die, Orthodox or not.

In Christ,

James Kelley

I seem to remember that one of the western “ecumenical” councils, taught the full double procession of the spirit or the procession of the spirit’s substance from the son also.

It would be interesting to lay out all the western statements about this.

Don’t have an email address, but wanted to ask Photios about his parish’s (in Euless) dialogues program. Can you shoot me an email? byztex at gmail dot com.

kepha,

Thanks for visiting the blog. I’m not a professor so I think you must have Perry in mind here.

Professor,

I don’t know if you remember me. We talked about six months ago or so over the internet. I’m the Protestant convert to Catholicism who is having doubts. Anyway, after a year of studying up on the Reformation, Scripture and Tradition, I am ready to start on Eastern Orthodoxy and the Papacy. Can you recommend about three authoritative books on Orthodoxy. Ideally, I would like a systematic work and an historical work. Thank you so very much.

In Christ and His Bride,
Frank

P.S. That sucks about your work being plagarized! I’ve notified my friend Tim Enloe about it, becuase he, too, posts his academic work on his website.
