They open a window into the heart of Early Christian monasticism. The exchange of question and answer touches on the hopes, fears and temptations of all kinds (even the most banal), experienced by every kind of persons—monks and laity alike. Here are the rugged rocks in which the honey drops of Desert Wisdom were distilled. John Chryssavgis does full justice to these unique letters of advice. Two wise and loving Christians speak from his pages. And as they do, the icy modern image of the monk as an exalted authority figure melts away to reveal a tenderness and a skill in one-to-one spiritual counsel that lifts the heart, even at distance of fifteen hundred years. -- Peter Brown, Emeritus Professor of History  Princeton University, USA\u003cbr\u003eJohn Chryssavgis has translated into English the vast correspondence of Barsanuphius and John, and so he writes in this book from an exact knowledge of their teaching. He is in deep sympathy with their spiritual outlook. While placing the two Old Men in their historical context, he shows also the timeless quality of their answers. As Chryssavgis rightly points out, their counsel is not “scripted or prescriptive,” but consistently situational, involved, and full of loving tenderness. I am particularly moved by the way he associates solitary contemplation with social consciousness. The message of these elders, as the author presents it, is both simple and yet full of hope -- Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia  Emeritus Professor of Theology, University of Oxford, UK\u003cbr\u003eAn insightful, encouraging, and challenging book! Dare one call a book these days “inspiring?” Indeed, yes. In this volume the Spirit is alive and well. Monasticism, early, medieval, modern, still has plenty to say to us today, but not only say—show rather than tell, live out in love rather than prescribe, teach embodied rather than lecture from a distant podium or pulpit. There is so much here! Barsanuphius and John guide us in the ways of true community, communion that offers transformation. -- Tim Vivian, Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies  California State University (Bakersfield), USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Kallistos Ware, Metropolitan of Diokleia             Introduction                                      \u003cb\u003ePART ONE:  THE DESERT BLOSSOMS:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eSetting the Scene\u003c\/i\u003e 1.

At a time of rising nationalist movement throughout Europe, Orthodox patriots advocated for the place of the Church as a unifying force, central to the identity and purpose of the burgeoning, yet increasingly religiously diverse Russian Empire. Their views were articulated in a variety of ways. Bishops such as Metropolitan Antony Khrapovitsky - a founding hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia - and other members of the clergy expressed their vision of Russia through official publications (including ecclesiastical journals), sermons, the organization of pilgrimages and the canonization of saints. On the other hand, religious intellectuals (such as the famous philosopher Vladimir Soloviev and the controversial former-Marxist Sergey Bulgakov) promoted what was often a variant vision of the nation through the publication of books and articles. Even the once persecuted Old Believers, emboldened by a religious toleration edict of 1905, sought to claim a role in national leadership. And many - in particularly famous painter Mikhail Vasnetsov - looked to art and architecture as a way of defining the religious ideals of modern Russia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhilst other studies exist that draw attention to the voices in the Church typified as “liberal” in the years leading up to the Revolution, this work introduces the reader to a wide range of “conservative” opinion that equally strove for spiritual renewal and the spread of the Gospel. Ultimately neither the “conservative” voices presented here nor those of their better-known “liberal” protagonists were able to prevent the calamity that befell Russia with the Bolshevik revolution in 1917.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrounded in original research conducted in the newly accessible libraries and archives of post-Soviet Russia, this study is intended to reveal the wider relevance of its topic to an ongoing discussion of the relationship between national or ethnic identities on the one hand and the self-understanding of Orthodox Christianity as a universal and transformative Faith on the other.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Introduction Part I: CULTIVATING HOLY RUSSIA  1 Russia’s Faithful Remnant 2 The Theology of Orthodox Patriotism 3 To the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel 4 The New Israel Part II: CONTESTING HOLY RUSSIA  5 The Crisis of Apostle-Like Statecraft 6 The Lure of Nationalism 7 The Lessons of Patriotic Religious Intellectuals 8 The Germogen Canonization Festival of 1913 Epilogue Conclusion Illustrations Acknowledgments  Notes Bibliography  Illustrations Index","brand":"Holy Trinity Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48869174313303,"sku":"9781942699279","price":27.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781942699279.jpg?v=1722291459"},{"product_id":"she-who-loved-much-the-sinful-woman-in-st-ephrem-the-syrian-and-the-orthodox-tradition-9781942699408","title":"She Who Loved Much: The Sinful Woman in St Ephrem","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Orthodox Church understands the Holy Scriptures to be the fountainhead of Tradition. The stories read in the Bible are commonly explored and elaborated in greater depth in liturgical hymns, homilies, and patristic writings. Such is the case with the account found in St Luke’s gospel of a sinful woman who anoints Christ with precious oil shortly before his Passion and Crucifixion. The woman’s story is taken up in the liturgical tradition of the Orthodox Church in Holy Week, where she is held up as an example of repentance and unconstrained love. In this in-depth but readable study the biblical accounts are elaborated through both the liturgical and oratorical tradition of the Church, as found primarily in Greek and Syriac manuscripts, with particular attention given to the former texts, too often overshadowed by the latter. Previously inaccessible texts of late antiquity, such as homilies by Amphilochius of Iconium and Ephrem Graecus, are found here in English for the first time, together with fresh English renderings of other sermons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis sharply honed and well-constructed work will engage all who encounter the story of the sinful woman in the living tradition of worship in the Orthodox Church, as well as those who are introduced to her through Scripture, liturgical poetry, or scholarly consideration.

The conference had three working sections: religion and science; religion and culture; and \"God, Motherland and Man\". Participants of the conference were scholars from the USA, France, Italy, Rumania, Poland, Czechia, and Lithuania; participants included the most reverend hierarchs, clergymen and representatives of the Georgian government. The work of the conference was summed up by the Round Table which outlined the tasks and methods of further cooperation.

Its practices are largely unfamiliar in the West, and have remained essentially unchanged since the earliest days of the faith. This lucid introduction outlines the tenets, nature and holy days of Orthodox belief with the Western reader in mind. It describes the physical church, especially icons, services, and common practices, and offers advice to visitors on how to conduct themselves so that they are accepted and feel comfortable. Several chapters concern the life of Jesus and the beginnings of Christianity; others trace the origins and history of the Church, with particular attention to its great champion, Constantine the Great. The present structure of the Church is described in brief, and the split between the Eastern and the Western Churches is related with differences clearly explained. The great antiquity and beauty of its liturgy, its essentially minimal hierarchy and its mystical yet pragmatic approach make the Orthodox religion a powerful medium for its profound and universal message. This deceptively simple volume takes the reader on a journey to the heart of the Christian tradition.

Eastern Christianity has travelled a long way through the centuries, amassing the intellectual riches of many generations of theologians and shaping the cultures as well as histories of many countries, Russia included, before the arrival of the digital era. New media pose questions that, when answered, fundamentally change various aspects of religious practice and thinking as well as challenge numerous traditional dogmata of Orthodox theology. For example, an Orthodox believer may now enter a virtual chapel, light a candle by drag-and-drop operations, send an online prayer request, or worship virtual icons and relics. In recent years, however, Church leaders and public figures have become increasingly sceptical about new media. The internet, some of them argue, breaches Russia's \"spiritual sovereignty\" and implants values and ideas alien to the Russian culture. This collection addresses such questions as: How is the Orthodox ecclesiology influenced by its new digital environment? What is the role of clerics in the Russian WWW? How is the specifically Orthodox notion of sobornost' (catholicity) being transformed here? Can Orthodox activity in the internet be counted as authentic religious practice?

(OCU) In December of that year a formal council was convened in Kiev and this new ecclesial body was created from two Ukrainian groups previously considered schismatic by all of the Orthodox churches worldwide. All of this transpired without any attempt by the Ecumenical Patriarchate to seek a consensus of all the Orthodox churches before embarking this course of action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMore than two years later the newly created OCU remains unrecognised by the overwhelming majority of the world's Orthodox believers notwithstanding that it has in that time been been recognised as Orthodox by the Patriarchate of Alexandra and the Churches of Cyprus and Greece. But even this recognition has not been without significant dissenting voices. One of these is the Abbot of the renowned Kykkos monastery in Cyprus, Metropolitan Nikephoros. In this pithy text he eloquently explains why the actions of the Ecumenical Patriarchate have created a schism in the Orthodox Church worldwide and how in turn they reflect the promotion of a new ecclesiology that distorts the traditional understanding of the Orthodox Church as headed only by Christ Himself. He is clear that the only road to healing and unending schism is a return to a form of inter-Orthodox relations which respects both conciliarity and hierarchy. In doing this he stresses his utmost respect for the historical place of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople and the hope that it will turn back from the path it is currently on to resume its rightful place in the plurality of the Orthodox Church.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is essential reading for all Orthodox believers to better understand what the Ukrainian crisis means for the future of their Church.

The doctrine of atonement has received little attention in Orthodox Christian circles since the work of Fr Georges Florovsky, who labored to clarify and promulgate the Orthodox teaching on atonement on the basis of his theological leitmotifs of neo-patristic synthesis and encounter with the West. Florovsky saw the doctrine of the person of Christ as the key to apprehending the pattern and the unity of God’s redemptive work. Hence he always sought to follow the Church Fathers in weaving together the themes of creation and fall, incarnation and atonement, deification and redemption, liturgy and asceticism, in the variegated yet seamless robe of true theology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe present volume is inspired by Florovsky’s legacy. It is composed of two parts. The first is a collection of papers on atonement by contemporary scholars from a patristic symposium in honor of Florovsky held at  Princeton Theological Seminary and Princeton University in 2011. The second part is a collection of writings on atonement by Florovsky himself, including previously unpublished manuscripts and other works otherwise hard to access. This book offers incisive and informed neo-patristic voices to any contemporary discussion of atonement, thus responding to the perennial legacy and task to which Fr Georges Florovsky exhorted Orthodox theological reflection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreface\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eAbbreviations\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart I:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Proceedings of the First Annual Symposium of the Fr Georges Florovsky Orthodox Theological Society at Princeton\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMarcus Plested\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eA Sacrifice for Life: Atonement in the Orthodox Liturgical Tradition  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eIrenei Steenberg\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eIrenaeus on “Atonement”  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eJohn Behr\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eCreation and Salvation in St Athanasius of Alexandria  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eKhaled Anatolios\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eTheology of Salvation in St Gregory the Theologian \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e John McGuckin\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eAtonement in the Ascetic Fathers  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eAlexis Torrance\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Ligno Crucis: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAtonement in the Theology of Fr Georges Florovsky  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMatthew Baker\u003c\/em\u003e      \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart II:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e Georges Florovsky on Atonement, Unpublished and Republished Materials\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMatthew Baker and Seraphim Danckaert\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Ligno Crucis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e: Ad Lectorem  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeorges Florovsky\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn Ligno Crucis \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e(A Summary from Sweden)  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeorges Florovsky  \u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRedemption (Précis of a Planned Book)\u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003cem\u003eGeorges Florovsky\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eThe Stumbling-Block  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eGeorges Florovsky\u003c\/em\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eContributors\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Holy Trinity Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49084689318231,"sku":"9781942699286","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781942699286.jpg?v=1725553025"},{"product_id":"restoring-the-inner-heart-the-nous-in-dostoevskys-ridiculous-man-9781942699125","title":"Restoring the Inner Heart: The Nous in","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten close to the end of the great writer’s life, Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short story \u003cem\u003eThe Dream of a Ridiculous Man\u003c\/em\u003e tells of a transformation of the heart and a journey from despair to joy: a joy that can be known by all through the experience of God that transcends a simply rational discourse.
