Table of Contents and Sample Pages

The Hidden Man of the Heart consists of a series of presentations on the place of the heart in the spiritual life of the Christian, with special reference to the Hesychast tradition of the Orthodox Church, including two of the most influential figures in contemporary Christianity: Saint Silouan the Athonite (1866–1938) and Elder Sophrony of Essex (1896–1993).

Delivered in Wichita, Kansas at the 2007 Clergy Brotherhood Retreat of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Church, each lecture (divided here into chapters) is published in full together with its corresponding Questions & Answers.

The author is a disciple of the Elder Sophrony and a member of the Monastery of St. John the Baptist, England.

“Father Zacharias has inherited the rare and precious spiritual gift of ‘speaking a word’, an authentic word inspired by these contemporary spiritual giants [sc. St. Silouan the Athonite and Elder Sophrony].”

The Right Reverend Basil Essey
Bishop of Wichita

“The writings of Archimandrite Zacharias evince that inspiration which is born of the undistorted vision of Christ in glory.”

Ecclesial Being: Contributions to Theological Dialogue, by Constantine Scouteris

Price: $9.95
Published by: Mount Thabor Publishing
Item Number: SB0013

Table of Contents and Sample Pages

This collection of studies, by one of the foremost theologians in Greece today, is the fruit of a profound understanding of the Orthodox Patristic tradition, and of many years' experience in theological dialogue.

"In his Ecclesial Being, Constantine Scouteris focuses most ably on the mystery of the human person in the context of the conciliarity of the Church. His vision of unity, based on the Pauline theme of the New Israel, embraces all Orthodox Christian peoples – wonderfully diverse in language and culture – as one nation in Christ, to which the entire world is invited to join."

Christopher Veniamin
Professor of Patristics
Saint Tikhon’s Seminary, USA

Dr. Scouteris is Professor of the History of Christian Doctrine and Symbolic Theology in the Faculty of Theology of the University of Athens, and, since 1986, is also Adjunct Professor in the History of Doctrine at the Theological School of the University of Balamand, Lebanon.

Mary the Mother of God: Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas

Price: $14.95
Published by: Mount Thabor Publishing
Item Number: SB0012

Table of Contents and Sample Pages

Sermons by Saint Gregory Palamas is the title of a new series, in which many of St. Gregory's extant homilies are arranged thematically, principally for the benefit of the layperson interested in the rich Biblical tradition of the Church Fathers. Mary the Mother of God, the first volume in this series, is a collection of some of the greatest homilies ever written on the Mother of our Lord, including the most celebrated of all St. Gregory's works, his sermon "On the Entry of the Mother of God into the Holy of Holies".

"Saint Gregory gave to the Church what is surely the most complete synthesis and perfect formulation of the Apostolic tradition of all generations. His theology, in a charismatic and 'existential' way, recapitulates, in its entirety, the spiritual experience of the saints of the Old and New Testaments . . . The sermons of Saint Gregory Palamas, in spirited and uncomplicated idiom, render his entire life's work accessible to the people of God. In fact, they form the most complete introduction not only to his theology, but to the theology of all the great Fathers of the Church."

Archimandrite Zacharias
Monastery of Saint John the Baptist, England

"Saint Gregory's sermons on the Mother of God are among the profoundest and most eloquent dedications to the Virgin Mary in Christian literature. His second homily on the Presentation or Entry may be regarded as his 'masterpiece', for it stands not only as his most famous writing, but arguably as the greatest homily ever written on the Mother of God."
