Phronema of our FathersOrthodox fundamentalists: A critical view by John W. MorrisThere is a relatively small, but determined group of people who call themselves true Orthodox, or the Church in Resistance. Having separated themselves from the large body of Orthodox Churches, they accuse the leaders of Orthodoxy of steering the Church away from the Faith of the Fathers. These self-proclaimed defenders of Orthodoxy charge that the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar, more modern clerical attire in public, efforts to develop relations with non-Orthodox and other minor changes from nineteenth century forms of Orthodoxy have compromised the essential dogma of the Church. The author, a priest of the Antiochian Archdiocese, with...2025-04-082h 42Phronema of our FathersChrist The Eternal Tao - Hieromonk DamasceneNot until now has the ancient wisdom of Lao Tzu been presented alongside the otherworldly revelation of Jesus Christ in a way that encompasses the full significance of both. Avoiding the common pitfalls of religious syncretism, CHRIST THE ETERNAL TAO shows Lao Tzu’s Tao Teh Ching as a foreshadowing of what would be revealed by Christ, and Lao Tzu himself as a Far-Eastern “prophet” of the Incarnate God. Inspired by Fr. Seraphim Rose’s early studies of the Tao Teh Ching, this book draws from the unpublished translations and teachings of Fr.

With conviction and certitude, he preached that repentance was a necessity for both the sinner and the righteous man. This volume presents Chrysostom's homilies on repentance and includes a sermon on almsgiving that he preached in Antioch during the winter months in 387. Chrysostom's work reveals that repentance is an indestructible pillar of the All-Holy, Universal and Immutable Church of Christ. He believed that repentance is the liturgical tool that rejuvenates sinners and admits them into the life-giving Eucharist where they...2025-02-205h 17Phronema of our FathersAn Extraordinary Peace St. Seraphim, Flame of Sarov - Archimandrite Lazarus MooreThis is the definitive biography in English of one of the most famous and best-loved saints of the Orthodox Christian church.

A thorough examination of Fr. Alexander Schmemann's views on the historical development and meaning of the Orthodox Church's prayer and worship. Fr. Michael Pomazansky, author of the popular book Orthodox Dogmatic Theology, provides an antidote to the poisonous stance of Fr. Alexander, which Fr.

come to terms with Christ's words of peace and His example of peace. In
Christ's life, as recorded in the New Testament, it is striking that He
neither killed anyone nor summoned any of His disciples to kill. Indeed,
the final miracle Christ performed before His execution was to heal an
enemy's wound, an injury caused by the Apostle Peter in an attempt to
defend his master. Yet, in the course of more than twenty centuries of
Christian history, we see Christians often involved in war and, in

Diligent in the study of the Scriptures, he wrote many discourses full of abundant learning and spiritual benefit. Of these, 32 are mentioned by Nikephoros Kallistos, which teach the entire path of the ascetic life, though they have not been preserved.

The
primacy of the bishop of Rome, the pope, as it was finally shaped in
the Middle Ages and later defined by Vatican I and II has been one of
the thorniest issues in the history of the Western and Eastern Churches.
This issue was a primary cause of the division between the two Churches

is impossible to understand either the New Testament doctrine on
marriage, or the very consistent practice of the Orthodox Church without
seeing Christian marriage in the context of the Eucharist ... The very
notion of marriage as a sacrament presupposed that a man is not only a
being with physiological, psychological, and social functions, but that
he is a citizen of God's Kingdom, i.e., that his entire life and
especially its most decisive moments involve eternal values and God
Himself. -- John Meyendorff, from the book

A right understanding of Mary, the Mother of God is essential for a right understanding of Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. When her image is distorted, the image of her Son also becomes distorted.

The first, which is known to us all, is the ""Our Father."" The author's intention is not to rival prestigious works but to discern, within the depths of the text itself, a Trinitarian revelation, the ways of communion--the ""prayer of fire"" of which St John Cassian spoke.

Maximus' vision of the liturgy contemplates the interpenetrating relationships of all things with each other and with Christ, in whom all things cohere. The church building and the human being and the cosmos are all mutually related and symbolically reflect each other. Further, in the liturgy we enter into the mystery of Christ.

At a time when secular humanism was increasingly asserting man's complete autonomy, Cabasilas proclaimed that man's true life lies not in himself, but in Christ. For him, man's redemption in Jesus Christ is not just a matter of history, which can be elucidated simply by scholarly endeavor; it is a saving event in which man is called to participate here and now, in body and spirit as well as intellect, through the sacramental life of the Church.

Published by: Light and Life
Orthodox spirituality places great emphasis on thoughts (logismoi) since everything we do begins in the mind. The Fathers of the Philokalia have much to teach about confronting and controlling thoughts. Since the average person experiences 4000 thoughts each day, the experiences of these Fathers over a period of over 1000 years can help us resist the evil thoughts that seek to pollute "the springs of life," i.e. our minds and hearts.2024-08-263h 15Phronema of our FathersA Star in the Heavens: The Life of Father John of ValamoA Star in the Heavens: The Life of Father John of Valamo
