The Philokalia (literally "love of the beautiful") is, after the
Bible, the most influential source of spiritual tradition within
the Orthodox Church. First published in Greek in 1782 by St.
Nicodemos of the Holy Mountain and St. Macarios of Corinth, the
Philokalia includes works by thirty-six influential Orthodox
authors such as Maximus the Confessor, Peter of Madascus, 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 Philokalia that
will introduce readers to its background, motifs, authors, and
relevance for contemporary life and thought.
