Series review
I consider myself blessed to finally have found these podcasts. After searching for various eastern orthodox commentaries (many of which are very good) I've found these scholarly productions to have a nice variety of topics and a refreshing format which discusses complex orthodox perspectives on modern American life. In doing so Fr. Anthony provides new insight to living our Eastern Orthodox faith in our Western world. AND he's got a great sense of humor too!
Orthodox Subdeacon
Not only is Father Anthony's podcast informative and well presented, but it is also edifying. Father Anthony does not only proclaim the word of God in an Orthodox fashion but presents it in such a way that is easy enough for beginners to grasp, but is deep enough for the serious seeker. Further, Father deals with some of the most seminal contemporary issues and does so from a spiritual Orthodox Christian perspective. His commentaries on the weekly Gospel lesson are brief, yet thorough where there aren’t many words wasted on fluff. Rather his presentation is short and to the point keeping the listener engaged from beginning to end. Further, Father Anthony’s experience in the military gives his political commentary an interesting perspective. All that coupled with Father’s wonderful sense of humor make for one great podcast. In fact his has quickly become my favorite Orthodox Christian podcast on the web. Thank you for your work Father A!
.
Fr. Anthony's show is one-of-a-kind: an eclectic and endearingly goofy romp through Orthodox life, theology, current events, the paranormal, politics, and philosophy that should appeal to the geeky, crunchy, socially concerned, and philosophically-minded subset of American Orthodoxy. Highly recommended.
