@N_Y_SparkyOxCable @RegalBeagle @DoubleD @RoninGrey @UncleIroh I’m assuming you already have a decent grounding in The Bible. Given that:

I’d first recommend “An Exact Exposition of the Orthodox Faith” by St. John of Damascus.

I recommed praying first; then just devouring it, and highlighting anything you think is “weird” or “off”. Then, I recommend reading a more modern / contemporary book like Clark Carlton’s *The Faith* and see if any of your highlights come up in that book. It often does a good job with clarifying what may amount to a cultural misunderstanding or whatnot.
A popular old “industry standard” is *The Orthodox Church* by Bp. Timothy Kallistos Ware; but only if you can find a first or second edition because it went downhill each time they released it.

If you’ve been out of The Word for a while, just start with Clark Carlton’s *The Faith*. It’s mostly harmless 😁

When I was a boy, there used to be horror "news" stories about spontaneous combustion.

Usually it was old women, and they had somehow mysteriously burned to death while asleep in their armchairs, leaving only their feet and shoes intact. And the room would be fine.

Everyone loved those dumb-ass stories.
