The Library

[Yeznik]

I think we should start a online library of resources from teachings, to prayers of the Saints. We post on different threads alot great sites that we refer, so lets compile one thread with all that educational information.

This is a website I recommend for some Church Fathers and historical resources.

http://ccel.org/

Here is the section on the early Church Fathers;

http://ccel.org/fathers2/

The documents and writings also can be downloaded in pdf and other formats.

WONDERFUL IDEA!

A website with writings of more fathers, philosophers, and heretics. This page includes some of our Oriental non-Chalcedonian Orthodox fathers:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/

St. Jacob of Serug:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/jacob_serugh_homily_extracts.htm

St. Philoxenus of Mabbhug:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/philoxenus_discourse00_1_preface.htm

St. Severus of Antioch, the great theologian:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/severus_coll_0_eintro.htm

John of Ephesus' history accounts:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/ephesus_0_preface.htm

Zacharias of Mytilene's history accounts:

http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/zachariah00.htm

The main page seems to have added so many new stuff that I haven't read, so it seems that this website updates with more translated ancient and valuable writings.

God bless.

Hi Mina, that is a great site. It has one of my favorite Saints, the name might be familiar.

Here is a quote from his writing.

"We, out of love for our friends and because of the mistaken views of our opponents, are obliged, within our bounds and with the help of God's grace, to undertake this study, confident that our readers will be open-minded and straight-thinking."

This link is to the book of lamentations or better known as Speaking with God from the Depths of the Heart, written by Saint Gregory of Narek. He is known as one of the greatest mystics in the Armenian Church.

This is a great Idea. I just wanted to add a suggestion. Could all these resources be put into a sticky thread at the top of the forum?

Peace

Hey guys,

There should be, hopefully, some website for the Oriental Orthodox Holy Fathers coming soon.

I think that that website may even include the minutes of the EO-OO talks in the past 40 years. Keep your fingers crossed (as a matter of fact, just do the sign of the cross )

God bless.

The Armenian Saint Gregorgy of Narekatsi, who lived well into the late 10th century.

God bless.

That's great. I would love to read them.

Is it okay if I cross myself from rith to left?

Blessings

Does anyone has the complete prayers of Saint Ephriam online or PDF?

 

[minasoliman]

I added something on this website:

http://www.christianforums.com/t2345503-christian-muslim-debate-in-12th-century.html

This was in a Syrian Orthodox website www.ruhosuryoyo.org, but apparently it's been down for quite a while. So I copied and pasted the debate on here for easy access. The monk is none other than a Syrian Orthodox monk, an OO monk .

Enjoy.

God bless.
