About the Author

METROPOLITAN KALLISTOS WARE (1934–2022) was an English bishop, scholar, and theologian. He is perhaps best known for his books: The Orthodox Church (Penguin), The Orthodox Way (SVS Press), and the English translation of the Philokalia (Faber). From 1966 to 2001, he was Spalding Lecturer of Eastern Orthodox Studies at the University of Oxford, and he was a leading voice in the Orthodox Church, well-known and loved throughout the world, speaking equally to laypeople and specialists, on both timeless mysteries and urgent contemporary concerns.
