Episode 9: “Tradition & Scripture”; “Three Forms of Prayer”, Saint Silouan, with Prof. C. Veniamin

Episode 9: “Tradition & Scripture”; “Three Forms of Prayer” Unit 16: “Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites: Principles of the Christian Life”, by Prof. Christopher Veniamin Series: “Mystical Theology" Based on the reading of excerpts from the Sections, “Tradition & Scripture” and “Three Forms of Prayer”, from St. Sophrony’s masterpiece, Saint Silouan the Athonite, this ninth episode includes such themes as the Holy Spirit in the Church, person vs institution, and the place of pain and suffering in the life of the Christian. Dr. Christopher Veniamin is a spiritual child of St. Sophrony. 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.
