John Maximovici, st The Orthodox Veneration of the Mother of God Foreword by Father Seraphim Seraphim Rose Translation from English by Catalin Grigore The Orthodox understanding of Mary, the Theotokos, the God-bearer, is essential for a correct understanding of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. When her image is distorted, so is the image of her Son. The present book is a classic exegesis on how the historical Christian Church has been venerating the Mother of God throughout the centuries, as well as the main erroneous arguments against her veneration: both old heresies and recent deviations of Occidental Christianity. It clearly shows why the Virgin Mary must be honoured by all peoples and why, on the other hand, she cannot be considered a redeemer alongside Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the world. Authored by a saint and wonderworker of modern times, enjoying a direct, unmediated spiritual bond with the Mother of God, this work was translated by the noted church writer pr. Seraphim Rose, in order to guide the modern man along the infallible path to freedom from worldly passions. Format: 13 x 20 cm, 96 p. ISBN: 978-973-136-108-6 «« back
