George Dragas (Professor of Patristics, the Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Theological Seminary, Brookline, MA), gave 3 lectures on the Orthodox approach to the Bible, the Bible in Orthodox Liturgy, and the Bible and Christians as icons in the Orthodox Church.
Dragas highlighted the difference between the Western and the Orthodox approaches to the Bible, and that the latter is essentially the approach that our holy fathers have taught us, in particular St. Athanasius the Apostolic and St. Cyril the Great, the Patriarchs of the Church of Alexandria.
Dragas referred to Paul Evdokimov book on "The Bible in the Orthodox Tradition", which he translated and submitted for publication in SMOF magazine, "The Word of Life".
