This is a very uneven book, but perhaps it is the translation, or I am just out of my depth. The half of the book, on Imagio Dei and Orthodox Antropology in general is great; actually coming to a conclusion in regards to the title is gone about in a very strange way in part two. I read part one quite quickly, and with pleasure, part two necessitated a month's break in the middle of reading.

I would recommend part one of this series (Sacrament of Love) instead. (
