In today's world the fanaticism of globalization in the secular world and ecumenism in the religious world, is visible in the way that the leaders of political and religious parties, speak and act in both private and open meetings, conferences, synods, and so on. They have forgotten that the culture of any society is the depository of a nation's history, and its development. Religion is one of the key depositories of any society as displayed by the individual faiths. This book, reviews some key concepts from the Fathers of the Church as they speak from the Eastern Orthodox perspective.
