LearnOrthodoxy.net is a platform developed by youth and servants dedicated to spreading the faith of the Coptic Orthodox Church. To meet the growing global interest in Orthodoxy, we have created this resource where everyone can learn about the faith from trusted sources.
Our content is primarily adopted from the works of Fr. Tadros Yacoub Malaty, a prominent priest and theologian from St. George Coptic Orthodox Church in Alexandria, Egypt. Fr. Tadros is a prolific writer known for making Patristics and Biblical exegesis accessible to the modern faithful, specifically through the lens of the Alexandrian School.
Fr. Tadros has dedicated his life to making the complex theological and spiritual heritage of the Early Church accessible to the modern faithful. His writing style often focuses on the "Alexandrian School" of thought, emphasizing the allegorical and spiritual meanings of Holy Scripture as taught by fathers such as St. Clement of Alexandria and Origen.
His work spans several categories, most notably:
- Patristic Commentaries: He has authored comprehensive commentaries on almost every book of the Bible, synthesizing the interpretations of the early Church Fathers into a cohesive and pastoral format.
- Church Tradition and Liturgy: He has written extensively on the meaning of the Coptic Feasts, the Divine Liturgy, and the history of the Church.
- Educational Materials: His Catechism series focuses on teaching the faith to youth and servants, ensuring that the Coptic Orthodox identity is preserved across generations, both in Egypt and the diaspora.
Fr. Tadros is highly regarded for his ability to bridge the gap between deep academic theology and practical, lived spirituality, always remaining rooted in the authentic Orthodox faith.
We are grateful to Fr. Tadros and his disciples for supplying us with the materials used to feed our platform, which are:
- Catechism of the Coptic Orthodox Church (7 books)
- Encyclopedia of the Saints and Fathers of the Church (4 volumes)
Fr. Tadros's work can be found on:
- Amazon Bookstore: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Fr.-Tadros-Y.-Malaty/author/B06XFDNRXY
- Mind of Christ Light: MoCL exists to proclaim Christ, the true Light, as received in Holy Scripture and understood through the living Tradition of the Church, handed down by the Fathers of the church. A central pillar of this mission is the preservation, translation, and sharing of the legacy of the writings of Fr. Tadros Y. Malaty. More information at mindofchristlight.com.
To our God be the glory in His Holy Church now and forever. Amen.
