Spiritual wisdom for monastic life in pithy pearls.

The Chapters on Theology by Maximus could be a good read for those seeking spiritual wisdom and guidance in their monastic life. With its arrangement into two hundred "chapters" covering various themes, it provides a diverse and insightful perspective on God's relation to the cosmos, scriptural difficulties, and the vision of the consummated universe in relation to the incarnate Word of God. The intentionally ambiguous pithy pearls of wisdom accommodates readers at different points in their spiritual journey and offers valuable guidance in the pursuit of a religious life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Chapters on Theology is one of Maximus’ most eclectic writings. In this short piece, Maximus discusses many diverse themes, including God's relation to the cosmos, monastic discipline and life, scriptural difficulties, and his vision of the consummated universe in relation to the incarnate Word of God. The work is arranged into two hundred “chapters,” which are often pithy pearls of wisdom that monks could learn from the respected figure of an elder or abbot. Chapters tend to address a range of issues monks would face in the course of their spiritual progress. As such, chapters differ in complexity, although many exhibit intentional ambiguities in order to speak meaningfully with the same sentence to those at different points in their spiritual journey.The wisdom of these ancient words has transcended its time and place, and continues to be an inspirational piece, the insights of which are just as applicable today as they were nearly a millennium and a half ago.
