""Orthodoxy is neither just a theological system nor just a set of liturgical disciplines; it is in the most serious and full sense wisdom - a perspective of Spirit-led insight that transforms both vision and action. In this exceptional book, Patriarch Bartholomew inducts his readers into this wisdom and demonstrates with authority how it bears upon a range of global issues. There is nothing archaic here, though plenty that is traditional; nothing merely fashionable, though plenty that is sharply contemporary."" - Rt. Rev. Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of Canterbury, said, ""Patriarch Bartholomew has a deep understanding of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism and works tirelessly to bridge their worlds. He is concerned for the future of unborn generations, linking poverty, the dark side of globalization, and the unsustainable lifestyles of the elite with environmental degradation. He is an extraordinarily wise global leader, using the gi of his life to make this a better world for all, knowing God in all, and urging us to do the same."" - Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and a UN Messenger of Peace ""Bartholomew mines the mystical theology of Orthodoxy ... to paint a picture of a world transformed and renewed by Christianity. More than anything else, this book shows that all who are committed to social justice have a friend in the Orthodox Patriarch."" - Publishers Weekly
