Volume IV of The Russian Philokalia concentrates on Saint Theodore the Studite’s 335 instructions. Work, correction, illness, fatigue, and relationships become the setting in which prayer and obedience are tested. Within Saint Theophan’s Russian Dobrotolubie arrangement, this volume gives communal monastic life a distinctive place: the heart’s attention to God is considered amid responsibilities shared with other people.
Inside this book
- Three hundred thirty-five instructions of Theodore the Studite
- Prayer during work and common duties
- Obedience, brotherly love, correction, and repentance
Choose Volume IV for its focused treatment of the common life. It complements the more inwardly concentrated prayer texts of Volume V.
