Brossura. Condición: nuovo. senza sovraccoperta. prima edizione. How do the Eastern Orthodox Churches understand the mystery of marriage?

Over the last decades, these questions were the subject of numerous studies. This volume builds on this research and attempts to offer a comprehensive systematic presentation of these topics.
