This reality is often obscured both for those inside and for those outside the Church. In her dialogue with evangelicals, the Orthodox Church not only finds common ground, but more clearly articulates her own evangelical identity"-- Bradley Nassif is the co-editor of The Philokalia: A Classic Text of Orthodox Spirituality, foreword by Kallistos Ware (Oxford University Press); editor of New Perspectives on Historical Theology: Essays in Memory of John Meyendorff, foreword by Henry Chadwick (Eerdmans); author of Bringing Jesus to the Desert (Zondervan); and editorial board member for the 5 volume Encyclopedia of Christianity in the United States (Rowman & Littlefield).
