British Life and Institutions" is meant for the general educated reader who wants to know more about Great Britain, ie her people, their language, their history, their parliamentary system, their legal system etc. and her various institutions. As the big portion of the material deals with the governance of the country, the major institutions and the lines along which they operate and function, more or less smoothly, the book, I believe, will be of considerable value and help to educators, civil servants, parliamentarians, welfare officers, journalists in particular, my mai...

"A Visual Catechism" is a book written in an original way, which offers essential information to young children and those wishing to come to the Orthodox Church and be baptised.

In this book, entitled "Hesychia and Theology: The Context for Man’s Healing in the Orthodox Church", seventeen texts are published which make clear how indispensable for the knowledge of God is the hesychastic and neptic Tradition of the Church, as presented in the writings and teaching of the holy Fathers. Heyschia, as a method and means for healing man’s soul, is the way along which every Christian must inevitably pass to reach communion with God. The knowledge of God, in other words theology, is the fruit of hesychia, and constitutes man’s salvation. The book is de...

Le plan, caresse dans cette recherche, est de preciser la place, a savoir le role des passions negatives dans les quatre dernieres pieces d'Euripide: Les Pheniciennes, Oreste, Iphigenie a Aulis, Les Bacchantes. Notre hypothese de depart etait que la peinture des caracteres - partie de la mise en place de l'intrigue - et plus precisement les portraits negatifs - passions negatives, elans, vices, defauts de caractere - des personnages sont capables, par les questions qu'ils soulevent, de nous aider a deceler l'intention poetique dans chaque piece. Or nous avons constate que c...

Giannitsiotis) "Weisst du nicht, dass du und ich eins sind? ...dass sich in diesem Gefuhl...
