No one care retard, everyone should read his Confessions.

[Anonymous No.21322247]

Except for Augustine, Plato and Dostoevsky, they’re all, um, English. Tolkien also hated Lewis’s writing and vice versa despite their very close friendship so I’m not sure why that’s an addendum.

My list

Theology: the Quran (Ibn Kathir tafsir)
Kitab at-Tawheed
Ibn Taymiyyah Expounds on Islam

Geopolitics
Messages to the World
Muqaddimah
The Concept of the Political

Literary
The Iliad
The Odyssey
The Divine Comedy
King Lear
Hamlet
Eugene Onegin
Don Quixote
Moby Dick
In Search of Lost Time

Tolkien strongly disliked the Roman Empire with he identified with that, and if Byzantium is Second Rome and Russia third Rome then….

But did Tolkien dislike the Byzantium aka the Christian Rome?

He likely hated them for being depraved pagans which they were.

>Orthodox study Bible
Have fun reading a barely edited version of a Protestant translation. Then again, the actual orthodox churches just use the RSV or KJV so points for being one level more exotic, Jay.
The rest seem like standard literature anyone invested in pop culture who isn’t just a woocher has read. Surprised to See Augustine on the list though, you would think Dayer as the king of the Internetdox would spit on his very name

Oh yes you are lmao, Augustine first of all is from before the great East/West schisms and secondly even if he were after it the corruption of Rome was gradual not instantaneous.

> The Eastern Orthodox Church officially uses the Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament which was translated from the original Hebrew language into Greek in the third century B.C. The Septuagint of the Orthodox Church contains all the Canonical Books and the Anaginoskoinena Books "worthy to be read" (called Apocrypha in the English Versions). For the New Testament, the original Greek text is used by the Greek Church, while the other Orthodox Churches have translated the Bible into their own native languages from the original Greek, with the Slavonic translation the oldest. The Orthodox Church has not, as yet, translated the Bible into English and so has no official English translation. In the meantime, the Orthodox are temporarily using both the King James Version and the Revised Standard Version. (from https://www.goarch.org/-/the-bible-its-original-languages-and-english-translations))
As for your second paragraph, that’s a moderately more nuanced take than your brethren have. I’ve seen time and time again on here Augustine blamed for popularizing the doctrine of original sin and being a major divergence from the orthodox viewpoint. Kudos to you for that

>he's talking about the American Orthodox church
As for Augustine I don't know what the general orthodox consensus is nor do I care he along with St Thomas are very important authors/figures for all Christians even if there are some disagreements.
