The last half of the 20th century saw the establishment of the reputation of St Maximus the Confessor as the greatest of all Byzantine theologians, with a wholeness of vision that speaks directly to many of our concerns today. Until very recently, however, little of his work has been available in English translation, save for some collections of brief reflections arranged in centuries and a few brief treatises, too easily classified as "spirituality."

Since the advent of the internet, it has become increasingly obvious that our society suffers from a pornography problem—and Orthodox Christians are no exception. While many practical resources are available to help those who struggle with pornography use, these fail to address the problem at its deeper, spiritual root.

It is often said that the Orthodox Church is a hospital and that our understanding of salvation is therapeutic. Here Met. Kallistos explores what this means in many different ways, and helps us to understand more deeply our relationship with Christ the physician of souls and bodies, who came to save and to heal both us and the world.

The Good Samaritan is a first-of-its-kind catechism written specifically for young people (ages 6-12) to communicate the unchanging truths of the Orthodox faith in the most accessible and engaging way. This book catechism follows the patristic model of sin as illness, Christ as the medicine and the church as the hospital for the healing of the soul.

Estos relatos nos cuentan, básicamente, una peregrinación a pie por regiones de Rusia y Siberia. Pero ese peregrinar es a su vez una búsqueda. El personaje central inicia una vía de aprendizaje: busca conocer los secretos de la oración interior y permanente, por la invocación del nombre santo de Jesús. Como todo caminante de la Fe (y cada uno de nosotros, los creyentes, lo somos) cree saber lo que busca, pero desconoce lo que ha de hallar, que siempre, por los dones de la Gracia, será infinitamente superior a lo esperado.

El evangelio de Jesucristo no trata de lo que Jesús puede hacer por tu vida. Ni siquiera es la respuesta a la pregunta: «¿cómo puedo ser salvo?». El evangelio es la declaración de una victoria. En su venida a la tierra, en su sufrimiento y en su resurrección, Cristo venció a los demonios, al pecado y a la muerte.

Елена Капитанова – Несвятая несвятая», как она себя называет, которая предпочитает платкам и сарафанам косуху и штаны, а косице – распущенные роскошные волосы. Вы думаете, верующие люди – скучные, недалекие, неудачливые и вообще не от мира сего? Вот потому и прячутся за платками и длинными юбками, за бородами и рясами – кто в храмах, кто в монастырях. Елена Капитанова своей первой книгой "Православие без потерь" решила навести порядок в головах тех, кто только стоит на пути воцерковления или уже давно в Церкви, но так и не понял, что к чему.

В Православной церкви множество имен, прославленных святостью жизни, мученичеством и духовными подвигами. Вся европейская культура родилась на крови мучеников. И они никак не умещаются в усеченный список ста православных святых. Но серди них выделяются имена, ставшие образцами святости на многие века, признанные всем православным миром. И на Руси было особое почитание святых, благодаря молитвенным подвигам которых определилось само существование Отечества нашего как православной страны.

Edited by Archimandrite Vassilios Papavassiliou, The Ancient Faith Prayer Book brings together the most ancient and popular prayers of Orthodox Christians, with some additions that address issues of contemporary life.

Many Christians today divide ancient Jewish and Christian literature into two categories: what is in the Bible and what is not. The Christian East, however, has traditionally described a third category considered beneficial for Christians to listen to in the home: “apocrypha.” These texts, from the centuries before and after the Incarnation of Jesus Christ—beyond even the larger canons of the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Old Testaments—reveal to us the religious world and theological framework of the apostles and early Church Fathers.

Though it’s often too subtle to see, much of modern Christianity has fallen prey to the ancient Gnostic heresy which taught that the material world has no lasting spiritual value. Rediscovering the Goodness of Creation diagnoses the problem, takes us through its history, and helps us discover “the purposefulness of the material world, the goodness of the human body, and the eschatological hope of a transformed universe.”

A Silent Patriarch is the first scholarly biography of the desert hermit who became a most unlikely patriarch. Until now, the details of his life have remained hidden.
