“I am a noble peasant. A sentry of tradition. A principled intellectual. A Gen X antiquarian. An orthodox Orthodox Christian. I am nothing, except for Christ.”

Archpriest Joseph Lucas is an Orthodox Christian priest, theological scholar, college professor, and practical philosopher. He received his PhD. in Theology from the St. Irenaeus Orthodox Theological Institute at Radboud Universiteit Nijmegan, and his MDiv. with Distinction in Patristics and Church History from St. Tikhon Orthodox Theological Seminary.

Father Joseph is the author of How to Read the Holy Fathers: A Guide for Orthodox Christians (Ancient Faith Publishing). He is also a Senior Editor of Rule of Faith Journal. He is presently working on an academic monograph based on his research into Early Christian exegesis; and a collection of theological essays based on the patristic inheritance.
