Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The first part of this volume mounts a strong argument, supported by a cadre of liturgical scholars and historians, that women were ordained in the strict sense of the term. Some authors, like Phyllis Zagano, have argued that ordination to the deaconate is detachable from the larger question, as does the notable Orthodox prelate and theologian, Kallistos Ware (who believes that women may be ordained as deacons). Not merely a book collector, Eusebius was a scholar who, among other things, compiled his famous Chronicle, a complicated text that attempted to correlate the chronology of the entire "known" world by utilizing both pagan and biblical sources.
