Preservation and Influence of Ancient Jewish Texts in Orthodox Christianity

The chapter delves into how Orthodox Christian communities have preserved ancient Jewish texts, such as manuscripts and liturgical writings. It explores the potential impact of these materials on Protestant Bible scholars and the mythic understanding of Scripture in works like Tolkien's from an Orthodox Christian perspective. The conversation also touches on the concept of continuous learning and exploration in Orthodox Christianity, contrasting the Orthodox view of sanctification and theosis with Protestant beliefs about moral improvement and salvation.
