Nihilism as the Cause of Modern Error.
NIHILISH: ROOT OF THE REVOLOUTION OF THE MODERN AGE was written by Russian Orthodox monk, Eugene Rose, (a convert to Orthodox Christianity) in a San Fransisco basement during the 1960's. It is a small part of a much larger work that was never brought to fruitition--a text on the theme of man's war against God and His revealed Truth. The form of Truth discussed here concerns what is eternal, not ... 		  
  







  
  
The Path to Salvation: A Manual of Spiritual Transformation5 reviews
st Theophan the Recluse

St. Xenia Skete Pr, 1997

Church Father for modern times? Without a doubt!
What does it mean to call a spiritual writer a "Church Father for modern times"? For some, it might be easy hyperbole, or hype without depth. But for someone like Staretz Theophan's translator, Fr. Seraphim Rose, who dedicated his entire all-too-short life until his death in 1982 to the acquisition of the "mind of the Fathers" through a life of prayer and spiritual effort, and who was not ...

Why Study Religion?
_God's Revelation to the Human Heart_ is the transcript of a lecture that Fr. Seraphim Rose delivered to the students of comparative religion at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. It can easily be read in one sitting, and although it is not the most in depth or detailed introduction to Orthodoxy, it is an insightful nonetheless. Fr. Seraphim begins his address with the question, ...

Hieromonk Seraphim Rose

A GREAT PRIMER
The importance of the Church Fathers can never be overstated when discussing the Praxis of the Orthodox Christian Faith.

The Orthodox Veneration of Mary the Birthgiver of God19 reviews
St. John Maximovitch, John Maximovitch

St. Xenia Skete Pr, 1997

An Eastern View of Mary
The place of Mary in the Church is certainly among the most contentious issues along the Protestant/Catholic divide. Thus it is useful to see how the issue is handled by those Churches in the East who have no part in the contentions of the Reformation era. This little booklet written by an Orthodox saint of the 20th century sets in clear and sometimes blunt language the differences between the ... 		  
  







  
  
Little Russian Philokalia : St. Seraphim of Sarov5 reviews

St. Herman Press, 2008

Perfect
Just read it, you have to, no description can give it justice. All I can say is this, it's comparable to Issac of Nineveh's "On Ascetical Life" in its beauty, depth, and penetrating words of love, peace, and prayer. Just read it, this book will change you forever. 		  
  







  
  
The First-Created Man: Seven Homilies by St. Symeon the New Theologian4 reviews

Saint Herman Press, 1994

An Orthodox theologian for the Western mind
Of all the material I have read dealing with the creation of Adam and Eve and their subsequent fall from innocence and holiness, Saint Symeon's homilies are among the best. Considering the limited material that Symeon has to deal with, I am amazed at the level of insight and knowledge that he gleens from the text. Symeon deals with such topics as Adam's and Eve's original created state and ... 		  
  







  
  
Letters from Father Seraphim1 review
Seraphim Rose

Nikodemos Orthodox Publication Society,US

Father Seraphim Revealed by his own hand
I read this book while visiting the relics of St John Maximovitch of San Francisco, who was the Spiritual Father of Father Seraphim Rose. I wanted to know the Rebel Beatnik turned Eastern Orthodox Hieromonk (a monk who is also an ordained Priest) by his own words when he was writing a 12 year correspondence to his spiritual son Alexey Young. The book starts in the mid 1960's with the personal ...

Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Orthodox Monk, outlines of the dangers facing the Church today in this dated (1975), yet still very pertinent book. In Fr.

When the great founders of monasticism in the East, Sts.

When the first ascetics of Russia wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Great Fathers they didn't have a sunny heated and dry unfruitful desert, but ... 		  
  







  
  
The place of blessed Augustine in the Orthodox Church (Orthodox theological text)8 reviews
Seraphim Rose

Saint Herman of Alaska Brotherhood, 1983

Let those who speak ill of Blessed Augustine be put to shame
I love this little work by Fr. Seraphim. I love everything I've ever read from the man, but I especially enjoyed this one. I love Blessed Augustine, and I venerate him as one of the crowning jewels of the Orthodox West. So moving are the words found in his Confessions, that I have been moved to tears reading them. What pious Orthodox Christian, reflecting on his own sins, and desiring grace, ... 		  
  







  
  
The Soul After Death: Contemporary "After-Death" Experiences in the Light of the Orthodox Teaching on the ...23 reviews
Seraphim Rose

St. Xenia Skete Pr, 1998

American Orthodoxy is greatly indebted to Fr. Seraphim
While so many Orthodox theologians in Fr. Seraphim's day were writing left-leaning works that looked as though they had come from Vatican II, monk Seraphim was earnestly laboring to bequeath to the tiny American Orthodox flock the rich patristic inheritance of the Church. The Soul After Death's chapters upon the tollhouses contains large quotations of St. Cyril of Alexandria, St. Macarius of ...
