As somebody was saying in here, this book is a history of Orthodoxy's participation in the Ecumenial movement. I can say that this is not a book that can be easily read by anyone, so if you are looking for a light book on Christianity, you might want to try another book. If you are looking for a thesis on Orthodoxy, consider this book. It is an introduction to the Orthodox Church, so if you want a depth-in study and you are a novice, this is the book for you.

Regăsim în această carte pe de o parte o analiză asupra filosofiei istoriei din perspectivă creștină și pe de altă parte o istorie a ecumenismului în cadrul Bisericii Ortodoxe până în anii Primului Război Mondial.
Problema mea cu această ediție a cărții este felul în care a fost editată. Traducerea este în cele mai multe situații execrabilă și lasă impresia că traducătorul a folosit Google translate în majoritatea cazurilor. Mi s-a părut chiar că traducătorul a început să se plictisească de la jumătatea cărții încolo deoarece textul devine absolut dificil de urmărit. La această mare problemă se adaugă și faptul că ea este plină de greșeli de editare (lipsesc litere și chiar cuvinte sau diacritice).

P.S. Pentru studenții și cititorii români recomand textul în limba engleză.

I enjoy Florovsky's perspective, but this book was not my favorite among his writings. I was not totally interested in the history of Orthodoxy's participation in the Ecumenial movement, especially since it was written 50 years ago and reflects historical realities that are no longer true - communism in Russia for example.
