Paper Back. Zustand: New. In past years, Clement gifted us with some invaluable books: The Roots of Christian Mysticism, which beautifully weaves texts from the Fathers into a doctrinal and spiritual narrative, and The Living God, an Orthodox catechism which properly places catechesis in the context of the Church's music, worship, and iconography. Now, he offers us a meditation on three of the most essential prayers of the Christian tradition. How many have commented on the Our Father in the tradition? Gregory of Nyssa, Cyril of Jerusalem, Augustine, and a host of others. Yet there is always more to be said: ''the prayer. invokes the three divine Persons and their common will, then goes on to the disposition which man needs in order to enter into the trinitarian realm, to make use of time eucharistically, to seek freedom through grace and an unselfish respect for others, the rejection of ultimate apostasy, and participation in Christ's victory over hell and death.'' The second prayer -- a prayer to the Holy Spirit -- opens us to ''the breath of life, of communion and freedom'' that ''draws every man out of nothingness.'' And the third prayer, the penitential prayer of St. Ephrem the Syrian, ''shows us both the obstacles and the path which leads to that rare and difficult 'love' which is the 'synthesis of all virtue.''' Here is a book for devotions, for Lent, for life.

Paper Back. Zustand: New. After the fall of Byzantium, Orthodox Christians in Greece, Asia Minor, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East lived for nearly five centuries under Ottoman rule. Christians who publicly refused to convert to Islam, or who converted and later repented, faced death at the hands of Muslim authorities. These martyrs inspired fellow Christians to hold fast to their faith, and their relics became a source of strength to their suffering compatriots. Among those to compile hagiographies of these neomartyrs, whose stories no doubt circulated first in oral form, was St. Nikodemos of the Holy Mountain. The present collection of nearly 200 accounts of martyrdoms, compiled by an American Orthodox priest, is valuable to modern readers seeking to appreciate the courage, trials, and apologetics of these early modern witnesses for Christ. The author eliminates the flowery, exaggerated rhetoric found in earlier versions of these stories in favor of succinct modern prose, preserving intact the powerful dialogues that often took place between the martyrs and their Muslim judges. Along with numerous Greek martyrs, Serbs, Georgians, Egyptians, Bulgarians, and other nationalities are represented (St. Joseph of Damascus, martyred in 1860, appears near the book's end). Accounts of martyrdoms, while somewhat unreliable guides to the dynamics of Muslim-Christian relations, nevertheless shed light on a difficult period and retain the power to inspire renewed faith in Christian readers today. 377 pp.
