Metropolitan Kallistos is perhaps best known as the author of the book ''The Orthodox Church'', published when he was a layman in 1963 and subsequently revised several times. More recently, he produced a companion volume, ''The Orthodox Way''.
However his most substantial publications have emerged from his translation work. Together with [[G. E.
