Paper Back. Condizione: New. ''The canons.are not the expression of a legalistic spirit, which tends to envelop everything in regulations and to reduce the life of the spirit to juridical norms. They are the expression of the Church's pastoral concern for the salvation of her members.never considering them an unbearable burden, but a staff for the Church on her way to the kingdom.'' So Patsavos capsulizes the Orthodox understanding of canons, and in addition informs us that many Orthodox theologians prefer the terminology of ''tradition of the canons'' rather than ''canon law,'' distancing them even further from a juridical interpretation of the decisions of synods and councils. Rather than the neat, legal concision of Roman Catholic canon law, Orthodox canons (numbering over a thousand) exist in several different collections and defy such treatment. They require rather the critical exercise of akribeia (strictness) and economia (flexibility) by bishops, priests and spiritual fathers: the Church understands that in some situations ''logic is not always the happiest weapon to apply.''

This book presents a rich collection of key texts from the Fathers and early councils setting out what was expected in moral and educational terms from aspirants to the clergy in the early Christian centuries. Hitherto students of the early church have had to search for this material in a variety of different publications. Here they will find it translated and discussed in a comprehensive manner. While the latest historical scholarship has been taken into account, the book's main focus is on the spiritual rather than the social role of the clergy. It is the author's deepest wish that those aspiring to the Christian priesthood might find here an accurate and vivid account of the virtuous life that should always be their goal.…
