Baker Eastern Orthodox Christianity, 2d ed.: A Western Perspective
In this reliable and engaging survey, Daniel Clendenin introduces Protestants to Eastern Orthodox history and theology with the hope that the two groups will come to see their traditions as complementary and learn to approach one another with a "hermeneutic of love" that fosters "mutual respect, toleration, and even support."
This revised edition includes a new preface, a new chapter, and an updated bibliography. In addition to updated demographic information, Clendenin examines at length a particular aspect of Orthodoxy's intersection with Protestantism--its growing exchange with evangelicalism.

Dan Thompson
As an evangelical, this book was accessible in understanding Eastern Orthodoxy. Clendenin is an evangelical with a sympathetic mind toward the Orthodox church. The areas where he disagrees with Orthodox theology are pointed out, but he does not want to get into an argument. This was a great primer to help me understand and great part of the Church.
