Spiritual Gems From The Holy Cross Bookstore, # 8: Fr. Patrick Viscuso - Guide for a Church under Islam

This week, we are pleased to bring you a new episode of Spiritual Gems from the Holy Cross Bookstore, this time with Fr. Patrick Viscuso. 

Fr. Patrick has published numerous books with us at Holy Cross Press. His book, A Guide for a Church Under Islam, is Fr. Patrick’s original translation. The twelfth-century document has myriad interesting features relevant for Church history, including its record of ancient Christian practices and the internal life of Arabic Christians living in what would become modern Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria. The translation, as well as its annotations and introductory history, represents a unique and fascinating time capsule of the Church's history. 

Join us in this episode to get to know Fr. Patrick and hear his personal and informed insights on this text and its relevance.

• As Orthodox Christians, we believe that none of the topics or concepts discussed in these podcasts can be detached from our lived tradition.  So, if you are interested in visiting an Orthodox Church, or you are just looking for a local parish to start attending, we have included a link to the Parish Directory of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America to encourage and aid you in finding a community to visit or become a part of today.
