Nikolai Velimirovic (1880–1956) was born in Lelic, Serbia. He studied at the Seminary of St. Sava in Belgrade, and earned a doctorate in philosophy from Oxford, as well as a doctorate from the old-catholic faculty of theology of Berne. During World War I, he was delegated to the United States and England, where he gave numerous lectures promoting the unity of Serbs and South Slavic peoples. In 1919, he was consecrated Bishop of Žica. Arrested by the Nazis in 1941, he eventually emmigrated from communist Yugoslavia to the United States where he taught at a number of seminaries. He is now venerated as a saint by the Orthodox Church. Nikolai Velimirovic is also the author of Prologue from Ohrid, Prayers by the Lake, Thoughts on Good and Evil, and many more titles.

Bishop Artemije was born in Lelic, Serbia in 1935. He became a disciple of the Elder Justin Popovic from Celije Monastery, and was tonsured a monk in 1960. He then studied at the Theological Faculty of Belgrade.

Vladislav Maevskii (1893–1975) was born in Kremenchug, Russia. During the Russian Revolution and ensuing civil war, he joined the White Army as a staff captain. He then emigrated to Serbia where he enrolled in Belgrade University’s faculty of theology. Maevskii served as the secretary of Serbian Patriarch Varnava and as librarian of the patriarchal library of the Serbian Orthodox Church. He became well-acquainted with Bishop Nikolai Velimirovic while in Serbia. Following WWII, he immigrated to the United States and accepted a teaching position at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania.

Passions and Virtues according to Saint Gregory Palamas

  • Author: Anestis Keselopoulos
  • Publisher: St. Tikhon’s Seminary Press
  • Publication Date: 2004
  • Pages: 210

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

Examine the theology of fourteenth-century archbishop of Thessaloniki St. Gregory Palamas with Anestis Keselopoulos’ presentation of Palamas’ views on passion and virtue. Drawing heavily from Palamas’ homilies and other primary sources, Keselopoulos brings Palamas to life for twenty-first-century readers.

Palamas bases his teaching on the passions and virtues on the basic theological distinction between human life according to nature and human life contrary to nature. He argues that the passions do not belong to human nature, but are rather impulses and actions foreign to the natural life of man. For Palamas, the passions are states where man moves in a way that is contrary to nature. He characterizes passions as “deceitful desires.”

However, when the soul moves according to nature, one’s desires become an ardent longing for God, a “divine passion.” Palamas covers the entire spectrum of the spiritual life as he analyzes the causes of the soul’s enslavement to the passions and shows how the godlike virtues are their opposites. For him, this life begins with the cessation of our own impassioned thoughts, and leads to the soul’s reception of the divine grace of the Holy Spirit. This is the ultimate goal for all Christians.

Anestis Keselopoulos is professor of ethics, pastoral theology, Orthodox spiritual life at the University of Thessaloniki.

Women and Men in the Early Church: The Full Views of St. John Chrysostom

  • Author: David C. Ford
  • Publisher: St. Tikhon’s Seminary Press
  • Publication Date: 1995
  • Pages: 265

Sample Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

David C. Ford lets John Chrysostom speak for himself, bringing the wisdom of the ancient Christian father to bear on gender issues. Drawing heavily from Chrysostom’s homilies and other primary sources, he illuminates Chrysostom’s teachings on marriage, sexuality, gender roles in the family and church, and his view of women in general. Analyzing Chrysostom’s views on these issues, Ford shows that the Early Fathers were not the misogynists some have claimed.

See how Chrysostom reveals God’s triune glory in marriage. Tap into the wisdom of the ancient church and apply it to gender issues today. Flesh out Chrysostom’s rich, and often misrepresented views of sexuality and the sexes. Ford’s work brings Chrysostom into the twenty-first century, both for couples navigating marriage today and scholars studying the church of the ancient world.

Dr. David Ford’s articulate and lucid prose, as well as his broad familiarity with the writings of St. John Chrysostom—the most influential biblical commentator in Eastern Christianity—make this book a most welcome and valuable contribution to Christian understanding of human nature, accessible to lay reader and specialist alike. It should be required reading for all who are interested in the deeper aspects of patristic thought on questions of human sexuality, man-woman relationships, and the roles of men and women in family, church, and society.

—Alexander Golubov, associate professor of spirituality and academic dean, St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary

It is necessary to read the writings of the Church Fathers, especially their popular sermons, with accuracy and empathy within the Church’s total life and witness rooted in the Bible. David Ford does just this in his exhaustive study of St. John Chrysostom’s teachings about women and men, gender and sexuality, marriage and monasticism, and spiritual life and service in the Christian church. He examines the saint’s thought on these complicated and controverted issues with care and compassion. His work is a rare gift for which faithful Christians will surely return admiration and gratitude.

—Thomas Hopko, professor of systematic theology and dean of St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary

[Through his] careful textual analysis of the writings of John Chrysostom, . . . David Ford has opened a broad window of access to these questions that has not been looked through before. Look through this window, I plead with you. Let the wisdom found there illumine present dilemmas of sexuality, family, and marriage. I pray that this book may become a means of grace to women and men seeking to embody the praise of God in their sexual and spiritual lives.

—Thomas C. Oden, professor of theology, Drew Graduate School and Seminary

David C. Ford is assistant professor of church history at St. Tikhon’s Orthodox Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Mary, coauthored Marriage As a Path to Holiness: Lives of Married Saints.
