First published in Greek in 1782 by St. Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Macarios of Corinth, the \u003cem\u003ePhilokalia \u003c\/em\u003eincludes works by thirty-six influential Orthodox authors from the fourth to fifteenth-centuries such as Maximus the Confessor, Peter of Damascus, Symeon the New Theologian, and Gregory Palamas. Surprisingly, this important collection of theological and spiritual writings has received little scholarly attention. With the growing interest in Orthodox theology, the need for a substantive resource for philokalic studies has become increasingly evident. The purpose of the present volume is to remedy that lack by providing an ecumenical collection of scholarly essays on the \u003cem\u003ePhilokalia \u003c\/em\u003ethat will introduce readers to its background, motifs, authors, and relevance for contemporary life and thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrock Bingaman\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of Religious Studies and Religious Studies Program Director at Wesleyan College. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBradley Nassif \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Biblical and Theological Studies at North Park University.\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 366\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.2 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 25, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42562721251424,"sku":"9780195390278","price":154.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/enV4bWZFNDVwSU5YUkpreTBwMjN1QT09.webp?v=1770364530","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/the-philokalia-a-classic-text-of-orthodox-spirituality-paperback","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
