The fact that questions regarding marriage and priesthood remain \"open to conjecture,\" and continue to lack a \"consistent teaching,\" is at once a problem for the Church and the creative cause for the present study.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eHere the hard questions about marriage and priesthood are asked, and each contributor in his own field of specialization seeks to answer them honestly.

For the Orthodox East, however, their importance is even greater. Constituting the core of the corpus canonum common to all the Orthodox Churches, these canons remain the primary point of reference for their institutional life. Given the great importance of these canons of the ancient ecumenical councils, what precisely do they say and mean? What was the intention of their authors, the fathers of those councils? With the present work, His Eminence Archbishop Peter (L'Huillier) has given the English-speaking world authoritative answers to such questions. After providing an historical overview of each of the four councils, he meticulously examines their canons one by one. He translates them into clear and readable English on the basis of the best modern critical editions; he explains the sometimes ambiguous terminology of the original texts; he explorers the historical circumstances which gave rise to these canons in the first place; and he also indicates some of the ways in which they have been reinterpreted (and sometimes misinterpreted) in later centuries. The author does not claim to give answers to all the questions which we today might wish that the ancient canons addressed. Rather, as a scholar, he seeks to engage others in the challenges which honest scholarship poses, to lead them into the world of the ancient councils in order to discover the mens legislatoris. And at the same time, as a bishop, he seeks to discern the continuing significance of the ancient canons for the life of the Church today. The result is a critical study which will long remain an essential reference work for historians and churchmen alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 85%; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaperback:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e340 Pages\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSt. Vladimir's Seminary Press\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780881410075\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cb\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 x 9 x 1 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"St. Vladimir's Seminary Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":9804784835,"sku":"9780881410075","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0494\/6593\/products\/Church_of_the_Ancient_Councils.jpg?v=1446131818"}],"url":"https:\/\/holycrossbookstore.com\/collections\/archbishop-peter-lhuillier.oembed","provider":"Holy Cross Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
