Generally speaking, module makers make mods they are familiar with and/or agree with (except that Module Robot who'll post anything). I'm guessing we've not got many module makers who are Eastern Orthodox.

Working on this one right now. Should have it done in a few days if nothing else comes up.

I found this copyright on Dr. Hildebrandt's website:

"Recently I have copyrighted this material (October, 2011) to avoid it being taken by someone else, modified and then locked
down. So it is copyrighted but I hereby grant anyone permission to use it in whatever form (text, graphics and audio) or fashion
you would like without changing its contents. When you use it just cite the copyright notification and you're good to go:

I've finished this module through Psalms. Should be able to kick out the rest of it sometime this week (though the in-laws are coming tomorrow, so that might delay me a bit...).

I agree, but if there are any, it would make for some interesting studies.

I have noticed a lack of modules from the Eastern Tradition

There are some --- maybe as many as fifty --- resources. The majority of them are not in English.

All of the good material is either under copyright, or else is written in a language other than English.

About eight years ago, a project to construct good Orthodox Christian materials was started. For various reasons, that project fizzeled out.

My short list of Orthodox resources that are not legally available in e-Sword format is:
* The Philokalia. (Six volumes);
* The Way of the Pilgrim;
* The Further travels of the Pilgrim;

I changed "other than Greek" to "Other than English".
My estimate is that between a third and a half of the good material on Orthodox Christainity is written in Greek.

My Greek is very limited (in fact unless it is English, I doubt if i could make out one word in 100 no matter the language) and I try to limit my library to modules that I can obtain legally. I guess I shall have to postpone studying the scriptures from the Eastern Tradition's perspective. Pity.

Now if only someone would provide a corrected volume four of the Post-Nicene Fathers. What is currently listed as such, is in reality volume four of the Ante-Nicene Fathers.

~heavy sigh~

Is this the volume that is missing

PDF is most likely something you didn't want to hear but if it is the correct volume maybe someone will take up the project

Historically, Orthodox Christianity has discouraged the laity from reading the Bible, unless there was a cleric to instruct them in how to interprete what was read.

Instead, the laity has been encouraged to say the Jesus Prayer, and read material such as the Philolakia.

The Orthodox Christian experience is far more mystical than that offered by Catholic, Confesional, or Reformed Christianity.

It is amazing how errors migrate around the web. That specific resource was accidently uploaded during the beta testing of that set, and escaped into the wild.

If I still have the corrected version, I'll upload it here. (I lost at least 1.5 TB of e-Sword resources, as a result of back up drives failing on me, when I switched to Snow Linux 2.0.)

With one caveat, that appears to be the one.

The caveat is that I just got out of hospital and I am truly not feeling all that spry.
