“The Mystery of Faith” by Metropolitan Hilari…

“The Mystery of Faith” by Metropolitan Hilarion appears in Swedish

Anastasis/Artos&Norma Publishing House has published the book by Metropolitan Hilarion of Volokolamsk entitled “The Mystery of Faith” in Swedish.

The book was first published in 1996. It went through six editions in Russia, was published in English, French, German, Finnish, Japanese, Hungarian, Serbian, Polish, Ukrainian, Macedonian and Greek.

Bishop Kallistos of Diocleia wrote in his foreword to the first English edition, “The Mystery of Faith is written in a generous, holistic spirit. For the author there is no separation between theology and spirituality, between dogma and personal experience, between faith and prayer; all of them form together a single, undivided whole. Bishop Hilarion agrees with the saying of the Desert Fathers that the theologian is the one who prays. He is not concerned merely to provide a factual description in an abstract, “scholastic” style, of what it is that Orthodox Christians believe. He wants to present doctrinal teaching in personal, practical, dynamic terms, as a way of life.”

This book would help the reader to hear the living voice of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, to get acquainted with their abundant heritage and to understand the importance of dogmatic theology that modern man sometimes considers as something secondary.
