Avi Penhollow delves into the preaching themes that were not only spoken from the pulpits of evangelical churches but also deeply rooted in the traditions of the ancient Christian East.

These themes include:

  1. Critiques of Modern Christian Practices

  2. The Role of Scripture and Tradition

  3. Scriptural Interpretation - Exploring the methods of interpreting the Bible from an ancient Eastern Christian perspective.

  4. The Nature of God and Theosis - Discussing the transformative process of becoming more like God.

  5. Spiritual Growth and Transformation - Outlining the stages of spiritual development in the Christian journey.

  6. Universal Reconciliation (Apokatastasis) - Reflecting on the all-encompassing salvation and restoration offered through Christ.

  7. Engagement with the World - Encouraging active Christian participation in societal and environmental issues.

We explore how these foundational ideas were conveyed and lived out.
