Dust to Dust or Ashes to Ashes? A Biblical and Christian Examination of Cremation by Alvin J. Schmidt  Why have many pagan societies for thousands of years cremated their deceased human beings? Why did the Jews throughout the Old Testament era consistently oppose cremation? Similarly, why did Christians, like their Jewish ancestors, also consistently oppose cremation until the latter part of the 19th century? Why are more and more Christians and Jews in the West now cremating their loved ones?  This book written by Dr. Alvin J. Schmidt, a sociologist and theologian, answers these and other questions. The book reflects research drawn from numerous biblical and historical sources and shows us us why cremation has never been an option for Christians. ROP108 $21.00

Is the Grace of God Present in the Soviet Church? by Professor I. M. Andreyev.  A profoundly discerning and timely work that discusses the deeper spiritual reality behind the catastrophic events of the Russian Revolution that still imposes its influence on the Russian Orthodox Church today. Also contains the essay by Professor Andreyev, "Notes on the Catacomb Church." These two essays give a deeper, spiritual perspective to any historical understanding of contemporary issues concerning the Russian Orthodox Church. It also introduces the English reader to the important understanding of "things of the soul" as different from "things of the spirit." This understanding goes far beyond the title of this work and serves as a fundamental benchmark to which all "religious phenomena and movements" are to be examined by today's believers. Professor Andreyev was a confessor of the true Faith, sentenced to Solovki prison camp and a Catacomb Christian, who was present with the Petrograd delegation that went before Metropolitan Sergius to beg him to denounce his collaboration with the Soviet State. His is a voice that speaks without harshness, but with an unshakable integrity borne out of first hand experience and a deep piety. MP108  $10.00

The Struggle Against Ecumenism  The History of the True Orthodox Church of Greece  1924 to 1994  For the past seventy-five years, the true Orthodox Christians in Greece have witnessed bloody persecutions, intrigues, exiles, duplicity, slanders, internal divisions, and misunderstandings, and yet, despite all this, they have courageously stood fast in their heroic confession of the Orthodox Faith.  For the most part, their history has remained unknown to those outside Greece. Several periodicals and booklets have touched upon selective aspects of this history, but the actual documentation they provided was often scant, if not nonexistent. This history endeavors to fill this lack. Virtually all of the primary sources quoted in this work appear in English for the first time, and again, for virtually all of them, the complete texts are provided.
An extensive Appendix has been included to underscore the doctrinal nature of this history. This, indeed, is the crux of the subject at hand and the ultimate and true purpose of this book. Those who would disparage the struggle of the True Orthodox Christians of Greece oftentimes are heard to say that "the old calendarists" "left the Church" over a "secondary issue," that is, over "thirteen days." This History will demonstrate how false this statement is.  Aside from the historical documents provided, this volume's 250 pages include some thirty photographs, a comprehensive Bibliography of English and Greek sources, and a complete index, all of which supplement the main text and make this work an invaluable contribution to the study of the Orthodox Church in the twentieth century.  Illustrations, 250 pp. HTF1412 $18.00
