West of Jesus: Bible s Answer to the Protestant Departure from Orthodox Belief
West of Jesus -- The Bible's Answer to the Protestant Departure from Orthodox Belief is a condensed journey through Church history that establishes the Orthodox Church as the Body of Christ, as the Church founded by the Lord Jesus in the first century as evidenced by the New Testament. Protestantism's schism from the historic Church and the failure to return to the Church established in the first century ended in the abandonment of Holy Tradition. These "fruits" include the novel Protestant precept of Sola Scriptura, a proposition that argues Scripture alone suffices to illumine the believer's life in Christ. This resulted in the relegation of sacraments to mere symbols, a misunderstanding of the process of salvation, and other fatal misapprehensions about Scripture. West of Jesus provides the Bible's own answer to the Protestant error in terms (using the biblical text) Protestants will relate to while also drawing on other aspects of the Holy Tradition.
