Series: Mystical Theology
Unit 16: “Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites: Principles of the Christian Life”, by Prof. Christopher Veniamin
Episode 3: “On the Knowledge of God”, Part 3, & “Concerning Obedience”, Part 1
Based on the reading of excerpts from Silouan’s chapters, “On the Knowledge of God” and “Concerning Obedience”, from the masterpiece, Saint Silouan the Athonite, by St. Sophrony the Athonite, this third episode will delve a little more deeply into the mystery of how we may come to know God, and subsequently on the Orthodox understanding of Christian obedience, which is fundamental in our constant quest to discover the will of God in any and every moment of our lives.
Themes covered include the vision of Christ, ascetic & charismatic humility, three forms of obedience, the paradoxical character of the Christian life, the obedience of Sts. Silouan, Porphyrios, and Symeon the New Theologian.
It is hoped that these presentations will help the enquirer discern the interwoven character of Orthodox theology and the Orthodox Christian life, and to identify the ascetic and pastoral significance of the Orthodox ethos.
