Examines the concept of holiness. This book argues that both Orthodox and Catholic churches understand saints to be individuals whose lives and deeds are unusual, extraordinary, or miraculous.
An intimate portrait of holiness as exemplified in the lives and thoughts of ten people of faith in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The author introduces readers to a diverse and unusual group of men and women who strove to put the Gospel of Christ into action in their lives.
This work presents a collection of essays highlighting not only the vibrant tradition of the 20th century Eastern Orthodox thought, but also the necessity of its inclusion in the theological canon constructed mainly by Western Christian thinkers.
