Holy Tradition

Tradition is often perceived as purely the conservation of the past. Prof. Boosalis demonstrates the dynamic nature of tradition as the life of the Church, invigorated by the Holy Spirit, and rooted in each person’s faith and life in Christ. This volume also discusses the role of ethnic customs in the continuance of tradition, the role of oral and written traditions, and the place of monasticism.

Harry Boosalis is professor emeritus of Dogmatic Theology at St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Seminary.
