An introduction to Orthodox Theology

Orthodox theology, though one of the major traditions of global Christianity, has long remained on the margins of academic discourse in the Persian-speaking world. This work seeks to fill that gap by presenting the first systematic introduction to the theological worldview of the Orthodox Church in Persian. Through a careful translation, the book opens a window onto the intellectual, liturgical, and mystical dimensions of Eastern Christianity, highlighting its distinctive approaches to Scripture, tradition, and doctrine.

By presenting a selection from the Preface, the opening chapter, and a key section of the third chapter, this publication aims to provide scholars, students, and interested readers with a reliable entry point into Orthodox thought. It is hoped that this contribution will foster comparative theological reflection and deepen interreligious understanding within the Persian-speaking academic world.
