PORPHYRIOS (ELDER) [EVANGELOS BAIRAKTARIS]

Wounded by Love, The Life and Wisdom of Elder Porphyrios

Limni,Evvia,Greece, Denise Harvey. 2004, Reprint. (ISBN: 9607201191) Soft cover. Ill.: Trans. Fr. John Raffan. Book, (New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) Elder Porphyrios, a Greek monk and priest who died in 1991, stands in the long tradition of charismatic spiritual guides in the Eastern Church which continues from the apostolic age down to figures such as Saint Seraphim of Sarov and Staretz Silouan in modern times. In this book he tells the story of his life and, in simple, deeply relfected and profoundly wise words, he expounds the Christian faith for today. This book was compiled after his death from an archive of notes and recordings of his reminiscences, conversations and words of guidance, and was first published in Greek in 2003. The vibrant personality of Elder Porphyrios at all times shines through his words with great transparency and charm. In his introduction to the Greek edition Bishop Irenaeus of Chania writes: 'The words of blessed Elder Porphyrios are the words of a holy Father, of a man with the gift of clear sight, who was ever retiring, humble, simple and ardent and whose life was a true and authentic witness to Christ, to His truth and to His joy. Through his presence, love, prayer, counsel and guidance he supported an untold number of people in the diffcult hours of illness, mourning, pain, loss of faith and death. He is a god-bearing Father of our days, a true priest and teacher who in his ascetic way fell in love with Christ and faithfully served his fellow man. His teaching is deeply impregnated with the ethos and theology of the Orthodox Church and is dominated by the person and image of Christ our Saviour.' 268p. New Book from Greece.

SHERRARD, PHILIP

Human Image: World Image: The Death and Resurrection of Sacred Cosmology

Limni,Evvia,Greece, Denise Harvey. 2004, Reprint. (ISBN: 9607120175) Soft cover. Book, (New - will be sent to you direct from the publisher in Greece) It is now only too evident that the revolutionary changes in mental outlook that took place in western Christendom some three or four centuries ago, and that produced the modern scientific movement, are the major cause of the crisis in which the world finds itself today. Yet the terrifying consequences of the practical exploitation of modern science are usually attributed not to modern science as such but simply to its misapplication and abuse. We are even told, with a naivety that is as inconsequential as it is typical, that modern science must be good because what is true cannot be evil and since modern science produces results, it must be true. This book attacks such misconceptions head-on, and at the deepest level. By setting the modern scientific picture of the universe and man's place in it against the background of pre-Christian and Christian cosmology and anthropology, Philip Sherrard (1922-1995) shows unambiguously how our acceptance of this picture has literally enslaved us to a vast collective lie whose ramification in the major spheres of our thought and action cannot but vandalize and desecrate both ourselves and the world we live in. Reprint of 1992 Golgonooza Press Edition. 233 x 144 mm, 188 Pages. New Book from Greece.
