West of Jesus: the Bible's Answer to the Protestant Departure from Orthodox Belief Anthony of the Desert Anthony of the Desert

West of Jesus is a condensed journey through Church history that establishes the Orthodox Church as the Body of Christ, as the Church founded by the Lord Jesus in the first century ended in the abandonment of Holy Tradition. This resulted in the relegation of sacraments to mere symbols, a misunderstanding of the process of salvation, and other misunderstandings of Scripture. West of Jesus provides the Bible's own answer to the Protestant error in terms Protestants will relate to while also drawing on other aspects of the Holy Tradition. "[The] effort in writing the book is tremendous, and there is much good material" (Ginny Nieuwsma; Conciliar Press Editor)"The work is well-conceived and nicely structured". (Very Reverend Michael G. Dahulich; Dean of St. Tikhon's Seminary)
