Book: Short Trip to the Edge: A Pilgrimage to Prayer Most intriguing in Short Trip is its apprehension of beauty in terms that are both spiritual and physical. Cairns engages all of the senses in his pursuit of a life made prayer. The deep stillness that he gains from worship is “sweet” and “delicious” (161). Indeed, the poet is able to understand the psalmist’s command to “taste and see that the Lord is good” in what for him is an entirely new way.

Book: The Deification of Man: Saint Gregory Palamas and the Orthodox Tradition Focusing on the “new Adam” in Christ, this excellent study sets forth the theological and anthropological basis for the doctrine of deification as expounded by St. Gregory Palamas (1296-1359), the greatest theologian of the later Byzantine period. For Palamas and the Fathers the term “spiritual” characterizes the human being reborn through the regenerative grace of the Holy Spirit. Just as a rational person is endowed with reason, a spiritual person is enriched by the grace of the Holy Spirit. The author explores the sacramental, ecclesiological, and moral implications of deification in Palamas’ works and relates this essential theological concept to the life of each person in the Church.

Book: The Journals of Father Alexander Schmemann Fr Schmemann writes, "The meaning of this journal is not so much a desire to record events, but a kind of visit into myself." They record, often with brutal honesty, his impatience and frustration with himself and events, but above all, his liberation and freedom "in Christ and His Church."
