Orthodox Christian Book Discussion

Excerpt from Christos Yannaras: The author of this book, Maxim Vasiljevic, bishop of Los Angeles, does not write to teach or to make known opinions, views, acquired information, or wise conclusions from the study of wise texts bequeathed to us by the Fathers of the Church. The aim and purpose of the writing here is to …invite (the reader) to touch the empirical truth of the Church and to make him a participant in these empirical (truths). 

I would dare to say the "logic" of this book is to transmit experience and not just understanding.”
