St. Paul clearly states: “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus...” (Phil 2:5).
How do we acquire this mind of Christ and where is it to be found? For the Orthodox Christian, salvation is the acquisition of this mind of Christ which is to be found in the Church. This acquisition moves us from the image of God to the likeness of God; through our obedience to this call we begin to know God and this knowledge is eternal life (John 17:3).
This small book hopes to begin to answer how acquiring the mind of Christ is possible and why it is necessary in our lives today.
Fr. Archimandrite Sergius serves as the 16th Abbot of St. Tikhon’s Monastery. He teaches at St. Tikhon’s Seminary and has traveled extensively for the monastery and seminary giving talks and retreats.

Very good

Many of the author’s arguments were straw men arguments. And, several times he made criticisms against ideas that were not Catholic teaching. The chapter on Saint Augustine was strange. The author made many arguments against what he felt Saint Augustine implied. I had an open mind for his explanation of the differences between Catholic and Orthodox views of the Trinity, but he seemed to just keep repeating “they emphasize divine nature while we emphasize the three persons”. In Catholicism, there is absolutely a focus on the three persons. Is it “emphasized” as much as in Orthodoxy? I don’t know, and honestly I think most Catholics and Orthodox Christians could benefit from more pertinent discussions related to their salvation.
All that being said, I don’t regret reading the book. I enjoyed it actually. It was interesting, but a little bit unnecessarily tedious and drifted away from its purpose I think.
Interesting, but not captivating

Protestant listeners who are inquiring into Orthodox Christianity will find much that is familiar, but then experience the pleasure of learning how much deeper they can go once they dive into the fullness of the Christian experience in the Orthodox Christian faith.
Short but extremely profound
