Orbis Books, October 2003. Paper Back. New. It's likely the men and women introduced in this series would not call themselves ''Modern Spiritual Masters,'' yet there's no doubt their lives, their work and their words have acted as both companion and guide to many a modern seeker of truth. As readers we enter the community of faith each time we pick up a good book, transcending the boundaries of space and time through our interaction with the writer and his vision. The authors represented here are part of that larger community -- their words are ways toward communion and grace, even friendship. Along with selections from their writings, the books in this series include helpful (and rather absorbing) introductions that relate the special influence each has had on contemporary spirituality through the particular struggles presented by the twentieth century. With that, we had best let them speak for themselves.

Faber & Faber, January 1982. Paper Back. New. The Philokalia is a four-volume collection of writings from early Church fathers, ascetics and theologians. This second volume is dominated by a selection from the writings of St. Maximos the Confessor, whose theological and spiritual depth and precision is increasingly recognized among contemporary theologians, both within and without the Orthodox tradition. Included are his 'Four Hundred Texts on Love,' 'Two Hundred Texts on Theology Written for Thalassios,' and 'On the Lord's Prayer.' The aforementioned Thalassios is represented here by a short work, 'On Love, Self-control, and Life in Accordance with the Intellect.' This volume also contains 'A Discourse on Abba Philimon' (late sixth century), the earliest text to mention the Jesus Prayer in its standard form, ''Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me.'' 414 pp.

Pick up any volume of the Philokalia and you'll know you're encountering the kind of wisdom that only spirit itself can impart. 378 pp.

Faber & Faber, August 1986. Paper Back. New. The Philokalia is a four-volume collection of writings from early Church fathers, ascetics and theologians. This third volume presents St. Philotheos of Sinai, Ilias the Presbyter, a spiritual predecessor of St. Gregory Palamas, St. Peter of Damaskos (eleventh century), whose 'Treasury of Divine Knowledge' occupies more space in The Philokalia than any other writer save Maximos, and St. Symeon Metaphrastis' 'Paraphrase of the Homilies of St. Makarios of Egypt.' Its themes of unseen warfare in the human heart, of synergeia or co-operation between divine grace and human will, and the possibility of conscious assurance of the indwelling grace of the Holy Spirit foreshadow the spirituality of St. Symeon the New Theologian. 457 pp.
