Standing in God's Holy Fire: The Byzantine Tradition (Traditions of Christian Spirituality Series) - Softcover
The orthodox Byzantine tradition is still often undervalued and misunderstood in the Western churches. This books gives a vivid introduction to the leading figures, key themes and values of this living and ancient form of Christian spirituality. At the centre of the Byzantine experience are ideas which western Christians share, and from which they still have much to learn: beauty, endurance, and hopefulness.

Book Description Paper Back. Condition: New. The Byzantine tradition, the central repository of Orthodox Christian tradition for a millennium, is the subject of this book, with the author's eye on Western Christians completely unfamiliar with it and looking for an objective, descriptive introduction. McGuckin has the right qualifications: a Western man, a professor at Union Theological Seminary, an accomplished scholar and translator of St. Gregory Nazianzus; but also a priest in the Romanian Orthodox Church. McGuckin's emphasis is on brevity, clarity, and comparative connections with the West. The distinctives of Byzantine spirituality he chooses as foci include the patristic matrix of Orthodox theology, Evagrios and the Desert Fathers, the Byzantine poetic tradition, Byzantine saints, hesychasm, and the majesty of Orthodox liturgy. A useful and irenic survey. Seller Inventory # 5653
