Description
The genesis and practice of the Jesus Prayer in the Eastern Church. This unique study provides the reader with both a historical and spiritual understanding of the prayer which simply invokes the name of Jesus. It reveals the scriptural and patristic origins of the prayer, its use in the ascetic tradition of Sinai and Mt. Athos, and the practice of the prayer down to our own day in both the Eastern and Western churches. An excellent guide for prayer and meditation.
