The Orthodox Faith series provides basic, comprehensive information on the faith and life of the Orthodox Church. It consists of four volumes. Printed copies are usually available on our parish bookstore table discounted as a set, and are also available for purchase directly from SVS Press or through Amazon. The full text is available online at the website of the Orthodox Church in America, but all are encouraged to make a print copy part of their basic at home Orthodox library.
The author, Protopresbyter Thomas Hopko (1939–2015), was professor of dogmatic theology and served as dean of Saint Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary. Alongside his numerous books and articles, Father Thomas was also renowned as a gifted speaker and homilist.
