On the Mystical Life — Ethical Discourses Vol. 1: The Church and the Last Things

The first volume of Symeon's Ethical Discourses in English — containing the first three discourses and parts of the tenth and fourteenth. Topics range from creation and the Incarnation, the saints' union with Christ, the foreknowledge and predestination of those who are united to Christ in baptism, the fearful day of the Lord and the future judgment, and the proper celebration of the feasts. Translated from the Greek and introduced by Alexander Golitzin.
