There are millions of committed Christians in Protestant Churches who sincerely love God with all their hearts but who also have discovered that the Christian life is often...a battle against sin. They are frustrated because they aren't winning what they believe should be their share of those spiritual wars. In the depth of Orthodox theology and spirituality, new--actually, old--answers may be found.Beginning with an assessment of the battle all Christians have been called to fight, Fr. Jon turns to basic Orthodox theology regarding the Trinity, the Incarnation, etc. as the foundation for our struggle in this battle. Finally, he explains the tools, or weapons, we may use to fight the good fight such as prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and living a virtuous life. These tools have been used in and encouraged by the Church for 2000 years. They are "time-tested". Fr. Jon writes: "We don't have to experiment. The Church now has two thousand years of battle knowledge behind her."

Father Jack Sparks has masterfully adapted the material from this highly treasured monastic work specifically for today's lay Christian living in the midst of a modern world.

Study questions at the end of each chapter facilitate individual or small group study. Two other books in the "Unseen Warfare" series-Virtue in the Unseen Warfare, and Prayer in the Unseen Warfare-are complementary in content, but do not overlap. Can be read separately or as a set.

Historical

The New Testament is a Jewish book and no part of it is more Jewish than the Gospel of Matthew-the story of how God fulfilled His word to Israel and sent them His Messiah, who in turn carried out the work of redemption. The Gospel of Matthew was written to prove to the Jews that Jesus of Nazareth is indeed the Christ, the fulfillment of their Scriptures. It contains the most thorough and organized presentation of Christ's teaching anywhere in Scripture. Thus the Gospel of Matthew is like the Christian Torah, the record of God's words and deeds through Christ. Matthew's Gospel also stresses the Church, since it is the true Israel, the holy remnant, whose message is to be taken to Jews (and Gentiles) everywhere.Other books in the Orthodox Bible Study Companion Series: Shepherding the Flock: The Pastoral Epistles of St. Paul the Apostle to Timothy and to Titus: 978-1888212563Universal Truth: The Catholic Epistles of James, Peter, Jude, and John: 978-1888212600The Gospel of Mark: The Suffering Servant : 978-1888212549

Father Jack sparks has drawn upon several versions of a classic sixteenth-century treatise, "Spiritual Combat," originally written to guide monks in their labors to attain union with God. Though Western in origin, the profound spiritual insights of "Spiritual Combat" were recognized by Eastern writers such as Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain and Saint Theophan the Recluse, who subsequently edited and revised it in accordance with traditional Orthodox beliefs. In one form or another, this work has been revered as a classic on the spiritual warfare for over four hundred years! Father Sparks has selected passages from this timeless work, reorganized the material, and recast it in contemporary language, all with the lay reader in mind. The result is a profound but highly practical resource for those who seek to strive with all their might against the enemies of our souls-the world, the flesh, and the devil. masterfully adapted the material from this highly treasured monastic work specifically for today's lay Christian living in the midst of a modern world.

Prayer in the Unseen Warfare: A Contemporary Adaptation of a Spiritual Classic

Sparks, Jack N.

An Eastern Orthodox Christian perspective on eschatology. Read a balanced, well-researched treatment of the end times, interpreted from the Christian East by faithful Orthodox saints, martyrs, and Spirit-filled Fathers of the Faith. Historic Christian teaching on the rapture, the millennium, the state of Israel, and the role of the Church in the last days is something quite different from what is commonly taught in the pop religion of today's evangelicalism.
