OFASC Theological Review

Read with discretion. Translated and published by non-Orthodox. Author completed this volume originally in English in 1971 prior to his reception into Orthodoxy in 1998. Members of Dr Pelikan's family remember him saying that he had not as much converted to Orthodoxy as "returned to it, peeling back the layers of my own belief to reveal the Orthodoxy that was always there."
