Raised in Queens, New York by formerly Orthodox Jewish parents, Arnold Bernstein went on his own personal quest for the God he instinctively felt was there. He was ready to accept God in whatever form He chose to reveal Himself-and that form turned out to be Christ. But Bernstein soon perceived discrepancies in the various forms of Protestant belief that surrounded him, and so his quest continued-this time for the true Church. With his Jewish heritage as a foundation, he studied and evaluated, and eventually came to the conclusion that the faith of his forefathers was fully honored and brought to completion only in the Orthodox Christian Church. Surprised by Christ combines an engrossing memoir of one man's life in historic times and situations-from the Six-Day War to the Civil Rights Movement to the Jesus Movement in Berkeley-with a deeply felt examination of the distinctives of Orthodox theology that make the Orthodox Church the true home not only for Christian Jews, but for all who seek to who seek to know God as fully.

While interesting throughout, it was when Fr. Bernstein addressed deeper issues and paradoxes of theology as debated by the Early Church Fathers that Surprised by Christ really grabbed my attention. As a Jew, Fr. Bernstein examines important doctrines from the perspective of someone knowledgeable and deeply respectful of Christianity’s foundation, paying close attention to language and interpretation of the Biblical source material. As for the thought and insights of the earliest Christians, the texts referenced in the endnotes of Fr. Bernstein’s book form a curriculum on theology which I, being interested in learning more about the beginnings of Christianity and the Church, both for intellectual and spiritual edification, will be perusing, pondering, and praying about for years to come.
