>>
>>24725863
>Written before the Great Schism
>Not part of Catholic doctrine
Why?
>>
the release date for america is december 16th
>>
>>24725894
No one cares. Culture-havers are talking, pindoboy.
>>
>>24725863
>second most important book after the bible
>translated in 2025
>>
>>24725894
Just get the ebook once it’s ripped. Physical penguin books are shitty anyway
>>
>>24725905
It's had multiple English translations since the 50s. But yes, it's weird and it should have been more widely available long before then.
>>
>>24725951
It’s too long, that’s why. And nobody in the West cares much about orthodoxy, so it’s rather obscure.
>>
>>24725863
The full collection is under $100
>>
>>24725923
I have a copy of Discourses of Ephitectus and I honestly like it a lot. Why some people hate Penguin?
>>
>>24725890

The great schism happened in 1000's. This is a collection of Christian writings from the 14th to 15th centuries.
>>
>>24725923

That's piracy. Also, booksnlike these, translations of medieval writings, are probably printed in the U.S. So buying the book helps support the U.S. economy.

>>24725951

Cool. Just checked with ebay, and there are a bunch Philokalia books on there, like 4 volumes of them.and in English.

>>24726011

Must have something with the Jews getting a law passed that stopped immigration from Europe, Western and Eastern Europe, but encouraged immigration from everywhere else, mostly third world countries full of people of color. Can't remember what specific legislative act it was, but I've seen and read about it on /pol/.

you can order from Blackwell's, shipping to US is included in the list price. Got a few books months early that way.
>>
>>24726120
Their paperbacks just look and feel low quality, I’m not referring to the content itself
>>
>>24725863
>orthodox church
>>
>>24725894

I'll just get the older copies if I ever turn to religion. Right now, I prefer to read about the Eastern Roman Empire and their battles against Islam.
>>
>>24725863
>Hesychasm
Do you need a new book to for this solitary prayer tradition? Wouldn't a bible and just sitting alone in the woods for a long period of time be just as good?

Hesychasm (/ˈhɛsJkæzəm, ˈhɛzJ-/)[1] is a contemplative monastic tradition in the Eastern Christian traditions of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches in which stillness (hēsychia) is sought through uninterrupted Jesus prayer.[web 1] While rooted in early Christian monasticism, it took its definitive form in the 14th century at Mount Athos.
>>
>>24725863
Imagine actually paying for Christian translations when Archive.org/Google Books has way better quality translations from the 1880s for free.
>>
>>24725863
>a selection
uh if the book wasn't worth publishing in full why is it worth publishing at all? why do I trust a random person to select stuff from it?
>>
>>24727160
>posts latin bvll
>>
>>24727790
Yes, because the saints and authors of the Philokalia illuminate the passages of the Bible that are hard to understand.

>>24729045
They publish a selection, because this book is very long and has multiple volumes. Penguin is not a religious publisher after all.
>>
bump
