The Inner Kingdom - Metropolitan Kallistos Ware
This is a revised and expanded version of a book that has appeared in
French, Italian, and Greek. It focuses on themes central to Eastern
Christian worship and spiritual life and serves as an introduction to
the series of six volumes of Bishop Kallistos' collected works.
The
opening chapter recounts the author's journey to Orthodoxy. The next
two chapters provide profound and illuminating insights on death,
bereavement and resurrection in Christ, and on repentance. Chapters four
through seven invite us into the world of the desert ascetics and
hesychast monks. Combining scholarly rigor with practical counsels on
prayers, Bishop Kallistos makes the wealth of the Orthodox tradition
accessible to today's Christians. The next three chapters concern
personal vocation, martyrdom, spiritual guidance, and the strange path
of the fool for Christ's sake. There follows a brief essay on time and
eternity. The final chapter is a challenging discussion of Origen and Ss
Gregory of Nyssa, Isaac the Syrian and Silouan the Athonite, and in
conversation with them Bishop Kallistos asks, "Dare we hope for the
salvation of all?"
A teacher at the University of Oxford who
lectures around the world, Bishop Kallistos speaks equally to laypeople
and specialists, on both timeless mysteries and urgent contemporary
concerns.
