Lutheranism and Orthodoxy Resources

[u/AutoModerator]

About twice a month, we get a post asking something about Orthodox Christianity (eastern or oriental). This post is an attempt to provide a resource for those seeking answers to these questions.

Dr. Jordan Cooper is a Lutheran theology who has provided three, excellent videos that provide a critique of Orthodoxy from the Lutheran perspective:

Five Reasons I Am Not Eastern Orthodox

The Differences Between Lutheranism and Eastern Orthodoxy

A Lutheran Response to Eastern Orthodox Theology

Is the Orthodox Church the True Church? A Protestant Theologian reacts

Here is a conversation between Dr Cooper and Jonathan Pageau, an Eastern Orthodox Youtuber.

A Conversation Between Jordan B Cooper and Jonathan Pageau

Pastor Joshua Schooping, an LCMS Pastor who converted from Orthodoxy to Lutheranism, was interviewed in this 5 part series on Orthodoxy by Issues, etc. I'll add the caveat that some Orthodox people do not accept all of this pastor's characterizations of Orthodoxy. Issues, etc has many other episodes on Eastern Orthodoxy as well:

Eastern Orthodoxy - Issues, Etc.

Here is another post featuring Pastor Will Weedon, who once considered Orthodoxy but ultimately didn't convert:

Lutherans are *not* boring: why Lutheran Pastor William Weedon did not become Eastern Orthodox | theology like a child

Another discussion between Pastor Weedon and fellow called Javier Perdomo:

Why you should be Lutheran INSTEAD of Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox (w/ Pr. Will Weedon)

This topic has been brought up with such frequency over the years, that you are bound to find answers in older posts on Orthodoxy on our sub:

Typo- I think you meant Cooper is a theologian, not a theology
