Thanks be to our God for these lectures.

A great walk thru the many forms of religion. Very helpful to have a single reference point (Orthodoxy) to compare and contrast with. Also provides great perspective and allowed me to appreciate / be much less judgmental of all the alternatives. Some much needed polemic antitoxin. Thank you.

This gives deep insight into differences between the original Church and new developments in Christianity. Very gracious in its approach.

Fr. Andrew’s ‘Orthodoxy & Heterodoxy’ podcast has been a great insight into the various religious traditions and faiths one may encounter in the post-Christian West. As an inquirer into Orthodox Christianity, it has been refreshing to hear charitable critiques of other faiths from the perspective of a traditional Christian.

this is one of the best comprehensive studies on religion I’ve ever listened to. I love its central theme on orthodoxy. Fr. Andrew, thank God, has led me on this path to orthodoxy, which in his faithful presence online, through Ancient Faith Ministries, and I couldn’t be more blessed and happy to learn more about the orthodox faith. You'll learn about the religions in the world and where they go wrong, but also and how they’re similar to orthodoxy. As Father Andrew says, they have continuities and discontinuities.

I recommend this podcast quite often to those that are confused on why there is such a divide amongst Christians. I’ve since ordered the book to read on my Kindle reader. If you study Orthodoxy and Heterodoxy you will learn most of the reasons why the Orthodox Church is ignored by many of those that participate in Heterodoxy.

This is a phenomenal resource for studying the history of Christianity and learning about the faith of the apostles.

I learned much of Christian Church history through this podcast. I am grateful. Top notch stuff!

I highly recommend it!

As a former Protestant minister with a Master's degree in theology, and a convert to Roman Catholicism, I found These podcasts provided accurate and truly helpful summaries of the various strains of Christian and neo-Christian religions. I wish I had found this podcast a few years ago. My only criticism is the author assumes that the listener already knows Orthodoxy, and will be able to make comparisons to other faiths on the basis of the shared Orthodox understanding. I would have enjoyed a little more explanation of the Orthodox answer to the compared religions. But that is a very minor complaint. This series is one of my favorites.
