Raising Lazarus: Integral Healing in Orthodox Christianity
Raising Lazarus is a poignant collection of works from renowned Orthodox academics, theologians, and authors including Stephen Muse, Paul Kymissis, Fr. Geroge Morelli, and Demetra Jaquet. With each section centered on a specific type of healing, "Raising Lazarus invites the reader to enter into a conversation with Orthodox thinkers about how and why the two-thousand-year-old theological, liturgical, and spiritual traditions of Orthodox Christianity engage with the contemporary world." (Fr. Stanley Hopkins)
