The Confession of Dositheus: From the Acts and Decrees of the Synod of Jerusalem
No Customer Reviews
In 1672, Patriarch Dositheus of Jerusalem held a pivotal Local Council in Jerusalem. For this Council provided canonical responses to the errors found in the alleged Calvinist document said to have originated with Patriarch Cyril Lucaris of Constantinople. One of the chief documents to emerge from this Council was the Confession of Dositheus, which provides a series of Eighteen Confessional Decrees and Four Answered Questions that speak to the issues raised both more generally by Protestant influences seeking to find their way into the Orthodox Church, and more specifically by those enumerated in the text attributed to Cyril Lucaris. Sadly, this document has not found the circulation it deserves, and therefore it is being republished here, with annotations discussing key issues raised by the text. It also contains three Appendices, one which addresses the issue of the Atonement as understood by the Council Fathers, another examining the issue of the relationship between free will, good works, and grace, and a third exploring prayers for the faithful departed.
