I thought of starting a thread where we post links to e-books (freely available and nothing non-legal of course) and articles by "official" Orthodox people. What I mean by "official" is not random articles by someone on the net, but articles or books by Priests, Patriarchs, etc. I'll update this first (and second) post with the books and articles (maybe even categorize them by something) in your replies (unless it gets too large =P). Also, if you know any book/article to be suspect, warn us. "On Aquisition of the Holy Spirit" by St. Seraphim of Sarov (Russian) "The Orthodox Church" by Bishop Alexander of Buenos Aires and South America (Russian) "On the Veneration & Intercessions of the Saints" by Deacon Raouf Ibrahim (Coptic) "My Life in Christ" by St. John of Kronstadt (Russian)

www.thealpha.org had a lot of Biblical Commentaries, Liturgical texts and Theological books from Coptic writers.

I am terribly sorry I cannot post anything on this subject here... Because I don't really know books about the OC in English, and I don't have links to books in English.
I have some links to books in Romanian, though, but they are not proper e-books, they are just pdfs, maybe, and they are scanned or badly OCR-ised. So...
I sometimes feel really bad because I don't reply to many posts here, and I do not activate so hardcore as Daniel...
Sorry, guys.

OrthodoxBrit, thanks, I'll add some of them with time.
Andrei, that's OK. Seems to me you make everything run smoothly on this forum so that's definitely important work.

"On the Veneration & Intercessions of the Saints" by Deacon Raouf Ibrahim (Coptic): www.coptichymns.net/module-library-viewpub-tid-1-pid-20.htmlReally liked this one. It includes a lot and is quite short. Usually these types of articles are "defenses". Like: some say that Christ is the only mediator but that passage actually means etc etc. In this article it's just why we do it.
