N2  - "In Light from the Christian East, James Payton ushers readers into the world of Orthodox Christianity - its history, theology and religious practices. In doing so, he clears away the confusion and misunderstandings that often prevent non-Orthodox Christians from fully appreciating the riches of this ancient tradition. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Orthodox Christianity."--BOOK JACKET
