Jean-Claude Larchet
4.9/5 (10305 ratings)
Description:A vast synthesis of patristic and ascetic oriental teachings from the 1st to 14th centuries, this study presents a renewed vision of the Christian doctrine of salvation and constitutes a veritable treaty, both theoretical and practical, of spiritual psychology and medicine, as well as a summation of Orthodox spirituality that has had no equivalent until now.Jean-Claude Larchet is an Orthodox patrologist and theologian. Holding doctorates in Humanities, Theology and Philosophy from the Université de Strasbourg, Dr Larchet, one of the foremost contemporary Patristics scholars, studies the relevance of the Fathers to questions of health, sickness, and healing today, and is one of the leading scholars of St Maximus the Confessor. Dr Larchet’s works include the companion volumes to the present work: Mental Disorders and Spiritual Healing (Sophia Perennis) and Theology of Illness (SVS Press).
