Orthodox Word Issue 258-9

    This double issue is dedicated entirely to the Orthodox teaching on creation. It contains an article about the annual conferences in Moscow on "The Orthodox Interpretation of the Creation of the World," sponsored by the "Shestodnev" (Six Days) missionary society of the Russian Orthodox Church. This is followed by a theological article, "Created in Incorruption: The Orthodox Patristic Understanding of Man and the Cosmos in the Original, Fallen, and Redeemed States," by Hieromonk Damascene, which further examines key themes introduced by Fr. Seraphim Rose in his groundbreaking book, Genesis, Creation and Early Man. The article has been prepared for inclusion in the forthcoming second edition of Fr. Seraphim's book, and is printed in The Orthodox Word as a preview of that edition.
