St Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022) is regarded as one of the
most significant figures in Byzantine mysticism. Though a very
controversial figure in his own lifetime, he is now revered both in
Orthodox and other Christian traditions. After beginning his
monastic life while still comparatively young, he became hegumen of
the monastery of St Mamas, and held that position for several
years. Many of his writings, including the Discourses and Hymns,
have appeared in print, but his four epistles have not been
published in their entirety until now.
In these four letters, besides criticising those contending against
him, Symeon writes as a pastor, concerned to give practical moral
guidance. He focuses on confession, repentence, and the role of the
spiritual father. H. J. M. Turner details the biographic and
textual context of this scholarly annotated edition. He uses the
previously unpublished Greek text established by Joseph Paramelle
to provide an authoritative basis for his translation. Clearly and
accessibly presented, these letters serve to reinforce our
understanding of Symeon's life and work.
