Massages From The Holy Mountain: Illuminating Discussion Reviews Of Twenty Recent Edifying Works Authored By Monks Of Athos

This book is a continuation of the series New Library, three volumes of which have already appeared in print in recent years. These volumes present a total of one hundred discussion-reviews of as many books by Greek, American, Russian, and other writers. The present, fourth volume, has been given the subtitle “Messages from the Holy Mountain,” because all the reviews pertain to works written by monks of the Holy Mountain of Athos, and contain important messages by them for people of the present age, with regard to subjects such as monasticism, humanism, secularism, technological civilization, and education; states of the mind such as anguish, depression, serenity, and joy; practices such as fasting and prayer; and the spiritual attainments of virtue, holiness, and salvation. 2003. 158pp., numerous illus. and photographs.
