About This Item
Faber & Faber, August 1986. Paper Back. New. The Philokalia is a four-volume collection of writings from early Church fathers, ascetics and theologians. This third volume presents St. Philotheos of Sinai, Ilias the Presbyter, a spiritual predecessor of St. Gregory Palamas, St. Peter of Damaskos (eleventh century), whose 'Treasury of Divine Knowledge' occupies more space in The Philokalia than any other writer save Maximos, and St. Symeon Metaphrastis' 'Paraphrase of the Homilies of St. Makarios of Egypt.' Its themes of unseen warfare in the human heart, of synergeia or co-operation between divine grace and human will, and the possibility of conscious assurance of the indwelling grace of the Holy Spirit foreshadow the spirituality of St. Symeon the New Theologian. 457 pp.
