History, Truth, Holiness: Studies in Theological Ontology and Epistemology ON SALE . . . 20% off!
By Bishop MAXIM Vasiljevic
Bishop Maxim’s first book, described by Fr. John
Breck as an “exceptionally important collection of essays” contributing
to both the theology of being and also contemporary theological
questions, is now available! Christos Yannaras describes Bishop Maxim as
“a theologian who illumines” and Fr. John McGuckin identifies his work
as “deeply biblical and patristic, academically learned yet spiritually
rich.” The first half of the book collects papers emphasizing
theological ontology and epistemology, reminding us how both the mystery
of the Holy Trinity and that of the Incarnation demand that we rethink
every philosophical supposition; it includes chapters on holiness as
otherness, truth and history, and the biochemistry of freedom. The
second half of the book features lectures dedicated to the theological
questions posed by modern theology, including studies of Orthodox and
Roman Catholic ecclesiology, liturgics, and the theology of icons. Softcover, 247 pages. 2011

Shepherd of Souls TEMP OUT OF STOCK At Sihastria Monastery in the mountains of
northern Romania, Fr. Cleopa tended the sheep for many years, spending his days in prayer and spiritual contemplation. Then, at the age of twenty-nine, he was unexpectedly chosen to be the new Superior of the monastery.
Now that he was a shepherd of souls, Elder
Cleopa quickly revealed his skill in directing people in the spiritual life. He instructed both monastics and lay people in the practice of the Jesus Prayer, and in the cultivation of hesychia (interior silence).
After being arrested and threatened by the
communist secret police, Elder Cleopa departed to the wilderness, where he spent a total of ten years in unceasing prayer. Eventually he returned for good to Sihastria Monastery. Each day for the next thirty years, hundreds of people flocked to him for guidance. Endowed by God with spiritual insight, he would mystically apprehend the problems and needs of each, leading them into closer communion with their Creator.
At the time of his death in 1998,
he was the spiritual father of all Romania.
This inspiring and popular book by the Elder’s close disciple contains both his life and counsels.
The present study is comprised of preliminary lectures in Orthodox
theology. While intended for first-year Master of Divinity students at
St.
Tikhon's Seminary, its introductory level of approach and
reader-friendly
style is suitable for anyone interested in the ancient spirituality of
the
Christian East.
Based on Holy Scripture and patristic teaching, this study refers to the
writings of a variety of Orthodox theologians, especially those from
Eastern European backgrounds. This book is original in that it preserves
its teaching purpose by maintaining a practical approach as well as an
appropriate level of language.
TAUGHT BY GOD: An Introduction to Orthodox Theology is ideal for any
layman who seeks to introduce himself to, or increase his knowledge of,
the Orthodox approach to theology and spirituality.
HARRY M. BOOSALIS is Professor of Dogmatic Theology at St. Tikhon's
Orthodox Theological Seminary in South Canaan, Pennsylvania.

The Gurus, the Young Man, and Elder Paisios WAS $17.00 By
Dionysius Farasiotis
This powerful memoir tells
the story of a Greek youth who, out of a desire to know the truth empirically,
began to experiment in yoga, hypnotism, and various occult techniques.
Eventually drawn back to the Faith of his forefathers—Orthodox Christianity—he
visited the ancient monastic republic of Mount Athos in his native Greece,
where he was brought to a knowledge of the Truth of Jesus Christ by the saintly
Elder Paisios (1924–1994). Nevertheless, believing he had only found “part of
the truth” on the Holy Mountain, he chose to give the “same opportunity” to
Hindu yogis that he had given to Elder Paisios and other Orthodox monks. Thus,
at the age of twenty-five, he embarked on a trip to India, where he undertook
his search in the ashrams of three famous gurus, one of whom was worshipped as
a god. His experiences in India, along with his subsequent encounters with
Elder Paisios on Mount Athos, are recounted in the present book in vivid
detail.
Popular in Greece since its
first publication there in 2001,The Gurus, the Young Man, and Elder Paisiosis a
page-turning narrative of both outward adventures and inward struggles. What
stands out most in this book, however, is the radiant image of Elder Paisios,
possessed of divine gifts, laboring in prayer for his fellow man, and
overflowing with unconditional love. Through this, one sees the uncreated
Source of the elder’s love and of the author’s spiritual transformation: the
true God-man Jesus Christ, Who honors man’s personal freedom while drawing him,
through love, into everlasting union with Himself.

The Mystery of the Wonder-Worker of Ostrog ON SALE! Was $47.99!!! Only 2 left!
By Protopresbyter Radomir Nikchevich and Vesna Nikchevich,
translated by Ana Smylyanich
The
Mystery of the Wonderworker of Ostrog tells the story of the transformation
of a modern-day Serbian youth, Mladjen, from the depths of despair to a life of
faith and spiritual enlightenment. Mladjen is mystically called by St. Basil
the Wonderworker of Ostrog (+1671) to the Ostrog monastery in Montenegro, where
he is confronted by the presence of God, by monks who see into his soul, and by
the weight of his sins. During the course of his visit to the Ostrog monastery,
Mladjen himself becomes one of the new miracles of Ostrog.
A
summary of the Christian path to salvation, a chronicle of the Serbian Orthodox
Church and the people of Montenegro, and a complete Life of St. Basil of Ostrog
form integral chapters in the story of Mladjen’s rebirth.
The entire text is overlaid with the evangelical teachings of the
Church, the experience of the Holy Fathers, and contemporary stories of many
witnesses to the miracles of Ostrog…. The main focus of this book is to paint a
true portrait of St. Basil of Ostrog, a faithful likeness of his image,
radiating the light of the knowledge of God and the healing power of faith,
which soothes both body and soul. Metropolitan Amfilohije of Montenegro,
from the Preface
With full-page color photographs interspersed throughout the book, the
story of Mladjen and of St. Basil’s heavenly intercession is presented through
pictures as well as words. The book is adorned by images of ancient Serbian icons,
as well as by photographs of contemporary life in Serbian churches and
monasteries. This beautiful, large-format book is a richly layered treasury of
Orthodox spirituality, which, taken as a whole, has the power to change lives.

Timeline of Eastern Church History
An indispensible reference book by Kathryn Tsai for studying the history of the early
churches of the East. Byzantine, non-Chalcedonian, Assyrian and Indian
churches all figure in this thorough, 416-page tome. The large 8.5x11
page format is ideal for effective graphic layout of the timeline. The
content is a combination of a detailed timeline and comprehensive index,
highlighting the development of church structure and liturgy, major
ecclesiastical figures, and important connections between secular and
church history in the first ten centuries of our present era. Included
are 12 pages of specialized maps, fully-indexed, plus an extensive
bibliography. The story of the Eastern Christian Churches in the first
millennium is a fascinating and complex tale of political intrigue,
cultural transformation, theological disputes and missionary endeavors.
The Churches in the East, outside the sphere of influence of the Church
of Rome, are often disregarded in many works and classes on church
history. This tool helps to fill in the gap, presenting the drama of the
"other" ninety percent of Christendom. While the main timeline ends in
the 11th century, there is an appendix extending it to the year 2000 for
the history of Eastern Christianity in Central Asia and China, due to
the author's special interest and expertise in this region. Whether the
reader uses it chronologically or topically, many important,
interesting, and seldom-found facts will be discovered. Kathryn Tsai
(Ph.D., University of Wisconsin) is a scholar of the history of religion,
particularly of early Christianity and of the religions of China.
