Seller's Description:
New. Writing from within the Orthodox Christian tradition, Mathewes-Green offers a description of the foundations of the spiritual life with remarkable conversational clarity and concision. Much of this book hinges on a fundamental contrast between modern and ancient Christianity concerning the means and ends of Christian life--the questions timelessly similar, the answers often radically different--as refracted through the prism of a representative fourth-century family. This device allows Mathewes-Green to define terms of crucial yet complex spiritual experience--repentance, the passions, the heart, prayer of the heart--and others not easily translatable--theosis, nous, nepsis, prelest--in terms of the common experiences and struggles of a woman, her husband, and her children in a local church. Here is a primer on the teachings of the ancient Church that can be read in a single sitting, yet returned to repeatedly as a bracing reminder of that to which we are essentially committed if we claim the name Christian. 112 pp.
