For Protestants or Catholics seeking to understand Eastern Orthodoxy, the Cross is a good place to start. In the
West a multitude of different views sprang up over the last millennium, but Orthodox Christian beliefs have remained unchanged. The contrast between those views is suggested by the two images on the book's cover, showing how differently the meaning of the Cross was understood, East and West.

Two Views of the Cross is a short, focused book, ideal for readers looking to grasp the overall picture (with some passages from Mathewes-Green's more-comprehensive classic, Welcome to the Orthodox Church). This volume adds a new title to Mathewes-Green's long list of helpful books about Eastern Orthodoxy. Looking at the Cross from Western and Eastern perspectives provides a concise introduction to the beautiful, mystical, and sometimes-surprising Orthodox faith.

Listened to this audible on the drive home this weekend. Gonna have to buy the actual book. Was very well written and does a great job juxtaposing Eastern Orthodoxy and western Christianity. Highly recommend. Two Views of the Cross: Orthodoxy and the West
