Eastern Orthodox Vs Protestantism, Which Is the True Church: Jay Dyer Vs Dr. David Wood

The Dawn of Christian Art examines the emergence and development of Christian visual culture through surviving artworks and historical evidence. Thomas F. Matthews and Norman Muller challenge accounts that sharply separate ancient art from early Christian image practices. They explore whether panel paintings and other images continued forms of cultic or devotional use from antiquity into Christianity. The book addresses how imagery evolved, expanded, contracted, and acquired changing meanings across historical periods. In the debate, it is cited as secular art-historical evidence relevant to the question of early Christian veneration of images.

Written around 180 AD, 'Against Heresies' is a five-book treatise that identifies and refutes various schools of Gnosticism and other heretical Christian thought. Irenaeus argues against the interpretations of scripture by Gnostics such as Valentinus and Marcion, and defends the orthodox Christian tradition. The work is historically significant as one of the earliest unambiguous attestations of the canonical gospel texts and some of the Pauline epistles. It remains a crucial source for understanding early Christian theology and the doctrines of Gnosticism.

The Orthodox Study Bible is the first full-length study Bible in English to present the Bible from the ancient Christian perspective of the Eastern Orthodox Church. It uses the Septuagint for the Old Testament, translated by St. Athanasius Academy of Orthodox Theology, and the New King James Version for the New Testament. The Bible includes commentary drawn from the early Church Fathers, liturgical readings, icons, maps, book introductions, and a subject index. It also addresses various aspects of the Orthodox faith and provides guidance on liturgical practices and the biblical roots of Orthodox Christianity.
