Saint Nectary of Egina On Priesthood Translation from Neogreek by Parascheva Grigoriu The treatise On Priesthood incontestably follows the tradition of the Holy Fathers John Chrysostom, Gregory of Nazianz and Basil the Great. St. Nectary enlarges upon topics which were then, and still are today, of great interest, on the one hand emphasizing the dogmatic importance of Tradition, and on the other hand warning us agains the various deceptions which can divert a Christian’s attention from the Orthodox way. The Holy Fathers’ writings have been, in all times, not only the source that inspired Christians to improve their way of life, to open their souls to God, to learn „the science of salvation”, but also, alongside the Scriptures, Canons and Synodal statements, true guidelines of faith. St. Nectary’s work is further testimony to their absolute, undeniable universality. Format: 13 x 20 cm; 144 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-072-0 «« back
