Paper Back. Etat : New. Blessed are those who mourn. In meditating on this Beatitude, the Desert Fathers often spoke of its connection with sorrow for sin, and their own experience of what came to Be called the ''gift of tears.'' They were insistent that entering into Christian joy was inseperable from this primary experience of compunction. Irenee Hausherr has traced this recurrent theme through the first millennium of the monastic tradition and made it accessible to those outside the monastic calling. In the almost half century since it was first published, and to the modern mindset constantly immersed in the language of ''self-esteem'' and ''self-fulfillment,'' Penthos is a jarring reminder of a pristine practice of self-knowledge and repentance. 200 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 5558

Paperback. Etat : New. If joy in the resurrection is the distinguishing mark of christian faith, why have christian saints throughout the ages prayed for 'the gift of tears'? What place has penthos, heartfelt compunction, in the sure and certain hope of life in Christ? Weeping for Christ crucified is not christian. Penthos in the eastern monastic tradition is never found related to the death of Christ: for death, to the Christian, is birth into new life with Christ. Penthos is instead the deep awareness of sin which comes upon the Christian when he realizes that his own sins cut him off from the fulness of God's presence. It is the godly sorrow which accompanies the life-long knowledge that he is deprived of the complete and utter joy which God offers. In this study of penthos in the eastern monastic tradition, the late Irénée Hauserr makes available to western Christians some of the heart of patristicand Orthodox teaching.
