It is authoritative for what that Synod formally confessed, specifically its affirmation of certain books of the Greek Bible beyond the Hebrew canon. It is not independent outside scholarship about Orthodox theology, and it is not evidence for how individual Orthodox churches today apply or interpret it, which is a separate and evolving question.FactsClaims Backed By This Source (212 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsCitationAuthorWell-attestedSynod of JerusalemPublisherWell-attestedEastern Orthodox ChurchPublication YearWell-attested1672URLWell-attestedhttps://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/creeds1.v.vii.htmlSource TypeWell-attestedPrimary documentAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1A primary document adopted by a Synod of the Orthodox Church in 1672 in that synod's own institutional name, marked as a custodian source since the Orthodox Church is both the confession's subject and its author; authoritative for what that synod formally confessed.NotesWell-attestedThe Orthodox synodal statement affirming the reception of books of the Greek Bible beyond the Hebrew canon.CustodianCustodian SourceWell-attestedYesCustodian BodyWell-attestedSynod of Jerusalem (Eastern Orthodox Church)Custodian BasisWell-attestedA confession adopted by a synod of the Orthodox Church in its own name.
