Paper Back. Condition: New. This is the best of Metropolitan Hierotheos' books, which after nine editions in Greece must be considered a modern spiritual classic there. A dialogue with an Athonite hermit, it offers an awesome glimpse into the actual practice of the Jesus Prayer, which is not at all about 'technique,' but all about obedience and humility and an unexpected experience of the freely offered grace of God. A useful glossary of terms used to describe aspects of the spiritual life and ascetic practice in the Orthodox tradition is included at the end of the text. 194 pp.

Paper Back. Condition: New. A comprehensive account of the Orthodox Church's teachings on the state of the soul after death. Metropolitan Hierotheos discusses a wide-ranging set of issues, including the soul's testing by demons after death, the Orthodox position regarding purgatory, drawn from a detailed examination of the statement of St. Mark of Ephesus contra the Latin position at Ferrara-Florence in 1439, the dispute about the doctrine of apocatastasis in the writings of Origen and St. Gregory of Nyssa, the Orthodox attitude toward contemporary accounts of near-death or out-of-body experiences, and much more. One would be hard-pressed to find a more careful, contemporary yet traditional Orthodox critique of the modern currents of thought concerning death than this one. 384 pp.

Paper Back. Condition: New. By simplest definition, a commentary on the twelve feasts of the Orthodox ecclesial year. But of course, we cannot leave it at that because it is Metropolitan Hierotheos' Christological interpretation of these feasts (standing squarely on the shoulders of the Church Fathers) that articulates in ''a beautiful and inductive way'' the nature of their divine economy in the Church. Metropolitan Hierotheos explains that ''Christians experience the events of our Lord's life in accordance with the depth of their spiritual state. Therefore it is not a matter of an outward adaptation of a formal feast, but of spiritual experience, and properly speaking, of a sacramental and ascetic imitation of Christ.'' Even the phrase 'imitation of Christ,' he says, has been distorted to convey only its ethical dimension when, in truth, it contains and embraces ''man's whole journey towards deification, which is his deepest aim.'' Through our practice of asceticism and regular participation in the sacramental life, we experience and live the Feasts of the Lord as ''springs of life and salvation,'' by the grace of His Eucharistic presence in us. Metropolitan Hierotheos salts his commentary throughout with Patristic and Biblical reference, uniquely conveying the rich possibility of spiritual maturity in Christ and concluding with several chapters discussing particularly difficult Christological issues as they are understood in Orthodox theology. 396 pp.

Paper Back. Condition: New. Metropolitan Hierotheos writes of St. Gregory in the loving manner of a disciple. Yes, there is analysis, there are surveys of the scholarly arguments of Palamas, but Gregory's role as saint of the Church always predominates in this major study, recently translated from the Greek. For it is not enough to abstractly focus on essence and energies, on the uncreated light of the Transfiguration, on Gregory's responses to the scholasticism of Barlaam of Calabria. St. Gregory's theology and mysticism springs from his own extraordinary experience of an ascetic way of knowing God, a devotion and obedience to an Athonite tradition already three centuries old. Anyone familiar with Vlachos' other works (Orthodox Psychotherapy, The Illness and Cure of the Soul, etc.) will want to enter into this work in order to mine their treasure -- the life and hesychast experience of St. Gregory Palamas.

Paper Back. Condition: New. Joining the constellation of other works available in English, this latest stellar offering from Metropolitan Hierotheos continues and expands his successful effort to communicate the Patristic mind to twentieth-century man. This is not a mere book, but rather a guided tour of Orthodox spiritual life. It is, in fact, difficult to describe without the use of metaphor: a house of large windows, high ceilings and beautiful rooms? An ordered garden of sheltered paths under flowering trees? Call it a book to wander around in, to ruminate on, to read aloud, to employ, to discuss. Defining hesychia as stillness of heart before God and true theology as the knowledge that only comes through this stillness, the Metropolitan writes: 'We live in an age of constant activity, gratification of the senses, uncontrolled imagination and speculations that wear people out. They are searching for inner stillness but also for theology - knowledge of God - to give their lives meaning.' Chapters are devoted to individual saints' teachings and to great themes spanning many times and cultures. Of note are his lengthy references to Mark the Ascetic (c. 400) and Elder Sophrony of Essex (d.1993), and his comparing/contrasting of Orthodox and Scholastic philosophy. The author concludes his introduction to the book with this request: 'I ask for my readers' prayers and I pray that the spirit of hesychia and theology may permeate our lives, so that we may acquire communion with God and our fellow human beings.' 452 pp.
