Written by the Abbot of Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos, Archimandrite Vasileios (1936-), The Saint is a small essay in the “Mount Athos” series and speaks to the origins, significance, and functioning of the Christian saint in the Orthodox Tradition. Archimandrite Vasileios’ contemplations are accessible, yet deeply theological in character.
An exploration of the spiritual and ascetical worldview of Saint Isaac the Syrian, one of Orthodox Christianity's most loved ascetic writers, by Archimandrite Vasileos, former abbot of Iveron Monastery on Mount Athos.
"Theology, as seen by Archimandrite Vasileios, is by its very essence liturgical; it is not a philosophy or a system but the expression of the Church's mystical life. "The first Christians lived their theology totally and with the whole of their bodies, just as they are baptized with the whole of their body and soul into the new life ... Thus their liturgical gatherings were an initiation into the mystery of theology ... The mystery of theology was celebrated in their lives, and they attained to the knowledge which is eternal life.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
