About this title

Synopsis

Orthodox Christians today have no lack of resources on monastic spirituality. And yet startlingly little has been done to critically engage the monastic tradition and adapt its ancient wisdom for the Orthodox faithful living in today's complex society.

About the Author

Dr Daniel G. Opperwall is a husband, a father, and a layman. He teaches theology, patristics, and history at the Orthodox School of Theology at Trinity College, University of Toronto.

Store Description

A unique collection of Classics, in religion, philosophy, history, and literature. Our principle of selection: if a book - literary, scientific, historical or theological - sheds light on ultimate questions in an excellent way, it's a worthy candidate for our shelves. An eccentric community of books cherished in an old two-story Dutch Barn house in Wichita, Kansas.
