Clark Carlton was born in Cookeville, Tennessee in 1964 and reared as a Southern Baptist. He earned a B.A. in philosophy from Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee. While studying as a Raymond Bryan Brown Memorial Scholar at the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, he converted to the Orthodox Faith and was chrismated at the St. Gregory the Great Orthodox Mission in Raleigh. The story of his conversion is recounted in The Way: What Every Protestant Should Know about the Orthodox Church.
Mr Carlton earned a Master of Divinity degree from St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York in 1990. His senior thesis, under the direction of Fr. John Meyendorff, was entitled "The Humanity of Christ According to St. Maximus the Confessor."
In 1993, he earned an M.A. in Early Christian Studies from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. At present he is working as an adjunct instructor of philosophy at Tennessee Technological University in his home town while completing his Ph.D. dissertation on the dogmatic and ascetical theology of St. Mark the Monk (5th c.). With this volume, Mr. Carlton completes his four-volume Faith Series.

The Orthodox Doctrine of Salvation.
An Orthodox Catechism.
The Life is the fourth and last installment in Clark Carlton's catechetical Faith Series. The Life completes the series with a focus on "the one thing needful:" what must we do to be saved. The author presents the Orthodox doctrine of salvation in an easy-to-undertand format, fully supported with scriptural references and quotations from the Fathers.The Life addresses several issues related to the doctrine of salvation, including issues that many find confusing. Among these are the immortality of the soul and the resurrection, the relationship of faith and works, and what it means to have a "personal relationship" with Christ. The Faith Series has been called the best Orthodox catechism series thus far. The Life is the fitting crown of this series.
