This book contains the first complete English translation, fully
annotated, of the treatise Concerning Frequent Communion, commonly
attributed to Sts. Makarios of Corinth and Nikodemos the Hagiorite,
the compilers of the Philokalia. This pivotal treatise, by two
central figures in the Kollyvades movement, which originated on
Mount Athos in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries,
addresses a somewhat less well-known corollary issue in Orthodox
spirituality, that of frequent Communion. The authors discuss the
controversy surrounding a decline in the frequency of Communion in
the Christian East, the relationship of that controversy to the
Kollyvades movement, and the theological arguments in support of
frequent Communion advanced by Makarios and Nikodemos, whose joint
authorship of the treatise they endeavor to substantiate.
