Seraphim Rose is not just the story of an individual; it is the story of what can occur in the conscience of the American soul, when God stirs the strings of the American sense of righteousness. Living as a monk in the mountains of northern California, Fr. Seraphim broke the shackles of his times and penetrated into the heart of ancient, otherworldly Christian experience, reconnecting fragmented Western man with his lost roots and showing him the way of return to God. Today his name is known and loved by millions throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt an early age, Eugene Rose--the young Fr. Seraphim--rebelled against the superficiality of modern American society and partook of the restlessness, despair, nihilism and lawlessness of the \"angry young men\" of his generation. He even tried to escape into the exotic realm of Buddhist enlightenment but his soul was still left empty and yearning. His forthright, self-sacrificing \"American cowboy\" character, however, pulled him back from these self-indulgent escapes, and it was then that God revealed himself to Eugene's sorrowing soul. The conversion from modern American rebellion to ancient, apostolic Orthodoxy was begun. When he did come to Orthodoxy, he cut straight through all the externals--the worldliness and boring organizational mentality--to go right to the essence and heart of otherworldly Christianity. He has blazed the path for other honest, forthright American souls heeding their own American sense of righteousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was another aspect of Fr. Seraphim, one that especially endeared him to the hearts of Orthodox Christians behind the Iron Curtain. As his monastic partner of many years observed: \"Fr. Seraphim was a man who knew how to suffer.\" He knew the value of redemptive suffering, saw it manifested in the Christian martyrs and confessors of his own time, and consciously embraced it--not only outwardly through the hardships of his wilderness monastic life, but also inwardly, in the \"pain of heart\" that characterizes true Christian love.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOT OF THIS WORLD\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e traces Fr.

In our own time, as Western culture once again gradually comes to recognition of the \"Eastern\" Orthodox Church as being existentially part of its own root tradition, the imperative of discovering common ground and defining a common frame of reference relative to essentials of Christian spiritual life arises as a matter of some urgency.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-Alexander Golubov, Foreword\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obscure Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44026493763670,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/1031\/1254\/files\/Front_cover_600dpi.jpg?v=1771983981"},{"product_id":"the-shape-of-biblical-language-by-john-breck","title":"The Shape of Biblical Language by John Breck","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"koito9-8ebvjy-q0fina-wxhwjn\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\"\u003eThe Shape of Biblical Language: Chiasmus in the Scriptures and Beyond\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThis is a REPRINT of an exceedingly difficult book to find. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003e2008 edition printed in 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold; background: white;\"\u003ePlease allow two weeks for the book to be delivered.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: bold;\"\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e This book is a reproduction of the historical text for academic, historical, or collector purposes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e6\" x 9\" \/ 338 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; font-family: 'American Typewriter'; font-size: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Shape of Biblical Language is the most complete and detailed introduction to chiasmus -- a complex and beautiful example of parallelism -- yet published.

The seventh of these he dedicated to the ascetic strugglers of his native Gaul (France), many of whom he knew personally and some of whom were his close relatives. This book he called Vita Patrum or The Life of the Fathers, as if the many Saints described therein led one life before God.

Rogers has written a brief but excellent catechetical booklet giving an overview of the episcopal office in the Church. The booklet is divided into three sections on the Biblical foundations, the historic witness, and the twenty-first century context. Throughout, there is a consistent theme on the organic unity of the Church and the episcopacy as a sign of that unity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeginning with the biblical witness, Rogers demonstrates how the unity of the Church was maintained under the authority granted to the Apostles and how important converts such as St. Paul submitted their ministry to be part of this overall unity. Disputes that arose such as the mission to the gentiles was an issue decided by the Church and not individuals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe unity under the authority and structure created by the Apostles was maintained by later Christians and was used to differentiate themselves from the gnostic sects that did not have any Apostolic authority. Rogers traces this development in the work of key figures in the patristic period. In so doing, Rogers points out some key differences that developed in the question of valid orders between the East and West.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Roman Church, following St. Augustine, came to view the validity of the episcopal ministry to be centered primarily upon having someone already validly ordained performing the ordination. The Orthodox follow that the validity is carried by the Church and not the individual. A bishop is still necessary for the ordination but a call by the Church is also required. The Augustinian theory, formulated in the midst of the Donatist schism, allows the proliferation of groups claiming to be in Apostolic succession by merely finding someone who was ordained to ordain a member of the group. The Orthodox theory eliminates this since it also requires the group itself to be in Apostolic Succession.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn the last section dealing with Christian unity, Rogers emphasizes the importance of the Apostolic Succession as a sign of God's love.
