 Having given the Oxford Dictionary definition of tradition, the textbook continues with an explanation of what Christian Tradition is. How is it defined?

            The textbook explains that:

Christian Tradition... is the faith which Jesus Christ imparted to the Apostles, and which since the Apostles' time has been handed down from generation to generation in the Church. But to an Orthodox Christian, Tradition means something more concrete and specific than this. It means the books of the Bible; it means the Creed; it means the decrees of the Ecumenical Councils and the writings of the Holy Fathers; it means the canons, the service books, the holy icons — in fact, the whole system of doctrine, Church government, worship and art which Orthodoxy has articulated over the ages.
