Eclectic Orthodoxy

I enthusiastically commend to you this six-part series on the spiritual life by Fr Maximos (Constans). I read these talks last year and found them very helpful, and then listened to the audio recordings during our Canada train trip this past December.

Part 1: Discoursing on the Passions

Part 2: Distractions of Modern Technological Society

Part 3: Seeking the Depths: The History of the Philokalia

Part 4: The Buried Seed

Part 5: The Jesus Prayer: Knocking at the Door of our own Hearts

Part 6: Taking Custody of our Thoughts

These lectures are also available in audio format from Patristic Nectar Publications.

Fr. Maximos is a Senior Research Scholar at Hellenic College/Holy Cross in Brookline, MA. He is an Athonite monk, one time professor at Harvard Divinity School, accomplished author and translator, and lectures internationally in both academic and parochial venues.
