One must participate in the practise of faith to gain real knowledge. Its like trying to appreciate honey by reading books about it: sure, you would learn how its produced, its chemistry, its nutritional value, etc, but until you unscrew the lid and try it, your knowledge can only be cognitive, clinical and objective. Take the lid off the Orthodox faith and experience its sublime texture, nuances and depth. Complex, moving, and God forgive me, finger-licking GOOD.
Thank God that one place on Earth seems to have escaped the Jewish Cerberus of both Capitalism and Bolshevism. A place completely void of materialism and the poisons of modern life especially in the West.
@markietheboss1 I am a Roman Catholic and I know how you feel, because I feel the same way about my faith. But I love the Orthodox Christian Holy Faith. I am trying to learn all that I can about the religion through books, magazines, journals, icon cards, letters, etc. Orthodoxy is absolutely beautiful! I love it and I love you guys! God bless you.
You're wrong, as in the past you had many illiterate people who had very strong faith which proves that all the other things are unimportant comparing them to man's basic move which is move towards the God. After all, the religion is older than the letters. Orthodox elders use to say that studying in the sector of theology can harm one man's faith.

The best way to know Orthodoxy is joining the Liturgy, not in book! =D
