The Greek Orthodox Church of the Holy Cross of Belmont, California has established PERICOPE PRESS, a new venture for offering ORTHODOX ADULT BIBLE STUDY in the TREASURY OF BLESSINGS SERIES (ISBN 0-9622536-6-9).


The Series is designed to provide – in simple terms – a better understanding of both the Bible and its connection with the richness of our Orthodox liturgical services.  It also serves to introduce the laity to the Holy Fathers, beloved by the Church for the profundity of their wisdom and their lucid Biblical explanations.

The Church of the Holy Cross is publishing these books in cooperation with Monastery Books and the Bay Area Spiritual Renewal Ministries under the auspices of Metropolitan Anthony of San Francisco.
