Christianity: Lineaments of a Sacred Tradition
Couldn't load pickup availability
In this culmination of his life's work, the popular Orthodox lay theologian and translator of the Philokalia, draws from the depths of tradition the "face" of Christianity as a world religion. Readers will find a fresh synthesis of issues familiar in earlier works: cosmology, the modern scientific paradigm, the role of sacred symbols, the thoughts of Nietzsche, Jung, and issues of death and dying. Foreword by Kallistos Ware.
