The book "Orthodox Psychotherapy" (The Science of the Fathers) sets out the teaching of the holy Fathers of the Church on curing the soul. It has been increasingly established in recent years that Orthodoxy is a therapeutic science. In order for a person to find the health of his soul and really to know God and himself, he must first of all find the place of his heart. "Finding and curing the heart is essentially finding salvation."

This is the second book in the series "Theoria and Praxis" published by the Apostolic Ministry of the Church of Greece. It acquaints us with basic themes connected with Orthodox faith and Christian life. The key elements of Orthodox spirituality are defined, and we are introduced to the realm of Orthodox Tradition.

It is pointed out that Orthodox spirituality is Christ-centred, Holy Trinity-centred and ecclesiastical. In addition, it is both sacramental and ascetic,...

This book presents the life, work and teaching of St Gregory Palamas as they relate to his identity as a monk of the Holy Mountain. In the consciousness of the Church as a whole, St Gregory Palamas, Archbishop of Thessaloniki, is not just a great Father of the Church and an Ecumenical Teacher, but belongs to the company of the Three Hierarchs and the three great Theologians of the Church, as "The Fourth Hierarch and Theologian". Drawing on information provided by St Philotheos, St Gregory's biographer, the author describes the Saint’s life from childhood, before he move...

This book presents the basic theological events relating to Christ the Lord, and offers interpretative keys to enable us to understand the central Christological points of the Lord’s feasts. It is stressed that Christology has an important place in Orthodox teaching. The book is divided into two basic sections. In the first are published presentations which were given at a Seminar of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens in the year 1994-1995, and refer to the feasts of the Lord which make up the "Twelve Feasts", as the Church calls them. The second part includes Christologi...

The fourth book in the series "Orthodox Psychotherapy" publishes the basic points of discussions which the author had with a group of Christians, members of a Parish. The introduction to the book records a few details about those taking part in the discussions and characteristic features of their personalities. The discussion leads to a shared realisation that many people today, although they believe in God and want to follow the genuine way of life offered by the Church, nevertheless remain uncured in their souls because they do not know how to be healed.

The chapters making up this book were talks given to the Catechists of the Holy Archdiocese of Athens in the year 1989-90, and they examine what the Church is and what the real dimensions of the mind of the Church are

A word has both a primary (literal meaning) and implied (figurative/metaphorical) meanings. Obviously, the implied/figurative.meanings are less definite than the literal meaning, therefore less stable and more amenable to change. In the language of science, however, the specific meanings are rigidly stabilized and the hazy and shifting implied meanings are much eliminated. The process of extension of meaning has been a continuous process, so users of a language must have thorough knowledge of the etymology of words. Hence, full mastery of a word very often demands good know...

The book "The Science of Spiritual Medicine" consists of the basic chapters on healing from two books in Greek (which have not been translated into English) entitled Therapeutic Treatment and Discussions on Orthodox Psychotherapy. The author has reorganised the chapters and made various additions and modifications in response to contemporary reality.

"Καμμένο χαρτί είσαι, να το ξέρεις..." Καρφιά τρυπούσαν το μυαλό και την ψυχή τα πικρά λόγια της μάνας του, που του είχε πει ένα βράδυ. Η ηρωίνη κυλούσε καθημερινά στις φλέβες του. Οι παραισθήσεις τον ταξίδευαν μακριά, σ' έναν κόσμο μακρινό, δικό του. Ένα γράμμα, μια κατάθεση ψυχής, που δεν μπόρεσε ποτέ να βρει τον παραλήπτη του. Μια αγάπη δυνατή, που ίσως να άλλαζε τα πάντα. Ο Σταύρος, μπλεγμένος στα δίχτυα των σκληρών ναρκωτικών, κάνει απεγνωσμένες προσπάθειες να βγει απ' αυτόν τον βούρκο. Καθημερινά παλεύει με το θάνατο, σώμα με σώμα. Δύσκολος αγώνας. Άραγε, θα κ...
