The Orthodox Faith series is intended to provide basic, comprehensive information on the faith and life of the Orthodox Church. The series is a brilliant introduction to those new to the Orthodox faith and is also helpful for teaching you. 

This expanded volume summarizes the primary personalities, controversies, and events of the Christian era through a synopsis of each century, beginning from the birth of the Church through the early 21st century. 

The other three volumes in the series deal with doctrine and Scripture, worship and spirituality.
