Jacob of Sarug's homilies on King Abgar and the Apostle Addai,
recounting the famous legend of Abgar of Edessa's conversion to
Christianity.
A new English translation of the two apologetic works by the
9th-century East Syrian theologian 'Ammar al-Basri. The Book of the
Proof and The Book of Questions and Answers were written to defend
Christian beliefs in the face of Muslim criticism.
In this book, a revised, annotated, and expanded second edition of
Theologie dogmatique, edited in the French by Olivier Clement and
Michel Stavrou, readers encounter Lossky's classroom lectures on
dogmatic theology. Lossky confronts the great questions of
theology: How can we know God? How is the Creator related to his
creation? What is the vocation of human beings, created in God's
image? These questions are understood in light of the two great
mysteries of the faith: the Trinity and the incarnation of the Son
of God. In Lossky's articulation, these are not abstract theories,
but living and vivid realities. "Emphasizing the thought of the
Fathers, Lossky actualizes the latter in a creative fashion through
a critical reflection-namely on the theme of the person-attempting
through an approach that is faithful and free, to express the
elements of the ecclesial tradition in a contemporary language. In
the wake of the Fathers, Lossky linked dogma narrowly to the
spiritual life, rejecting the false and ruinous split between
spirituality and theology, hence this term 'mystical theology'"
(from the Introduction).
Jacob of Sarug's homily on the Apostle Paul's advice to those who
prioritise worldly matters, leading to an afterlife remote from
God.
Edited by Archimandrite Vassilios Papavassiliou, the Ancient Faith
Prayer Book brings together the most ancient and popular prayers of
Orthodox Christians with some additions that address issues of
contemporary life, all rendered in elegant contemporary English and
presented in a compact format (4-1/2 X 7 inches) for ease of use.
