"The Armenian language is rich with ecclesiastical terminology. ... Archbishop Malachia Ormanian perceived a need to make this vast knowledge accessible to the faithful. Ormanian explains that he has purposely refrained from writing a scholarly work but rather a concise and explicit description of ecclesiastical terminology to which the faithful are often exposed but do not necessarily comprehend. His language is in the vernacular; his descriptions concise and enlightening. In 1905 Archbishop Ormanian made his Ecclesiastical Dictionary available to the public, thus completing this monumental task. ... No less monumental was the task of translating Ormanian's work into English. Bedros Norehad has captured the spirit of Archbishop Ormanian. His language, like that of the author, is clear and his descriptions concise. ... The Mother Church has changed as a result of the Genocide, the Diaspora and the society around us and the translator has reflected the change without detracting from the intent of the original. This is not an academic work nor was it intended to be, yet as a reference for members of the Armenian Church and other interested individuals it is a storehouse of ecclesiastical knowledge."--From foreword.

Of the three major branches of Christianity, Orthodoxy is the least known and most misunderstood. The Historical Dictionary of the Orthodox Church provides students, researchers, and specialists with a desk encyclopedia of the theology and theologians, saints, sinners, places and events of the Eastern Church. Two millennia of the religion are surveyed in over five hundred concise entries, concentrating primarily on the last 150 years. Includes an overview of the early Church through the Byzantine and Russian Empires, into the present multinational Orthodox presence in the ecumenical movement. Many of the general entries cannot be found elsewhere in English, and the comprehensive compilation of biographies of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Orthodox theologians (American, Russian, Greek, and many other nationalities) is published here for the first time. Includes a detailed 4000-year chronology, illustrations, extensive bibliography, and an appendix listing the current canonical patriarchs and autocephalous churches.
