I felt that with this new year it is time to start addressing the issue of comparative theology. I'm not the best when it comes to this, mainly because my memorization skills for scripture are lacking and though I have studied much on different religions my mind sort of sums up information well, taking in all data and breaking it down to simple concepts. The consequence of having a mind like this is that if I am put on the spot, I don't do well. It takes me a while to think things through, especially if I have to recall details.That being said, I do pretty well with dialogue and research and analysis.
So coming soon, I will begin a bi-monthly series on comparative religions, from an experiential approach. In other words, if my readership will contribute, I will choose a topic about a certain religion and see how it compares to Orthodox faith or praxis.
This means I'm counting on the 2000 monthly readers we have to pick the first religion or sect to discuss.
What I have found is that there is grains of truth in all religions, though I believe that Orthodoxy is the fullness of truth, the faith of God and His people.
So, readers, which faith would you like to discuss?
