Truth and Life

‘God is Truth and Life, and in Him the saints too become living and true.’ ‘Every religion, all the old and new para-religious forms, the lives of the mystics — all have their ascetic culture, which varies in accordance with the underlying dogmatic consciousness. The dependence of the ascetic act on the form of dogmatic consciousness and, vice versa, the dependence of doctrine on spiritual experience, is a theme of great interest…’ This book is a collection of texts which all demonstrate St Sophrony’s profound conviction that true life is based on true doctrine.
