Summary
The influence of the Philokalia in the Christian East has been greater than that of any book other than the Bible. Compiled in the monastic republic of Mount Athos, Greece, in the eighteenth century - from sources spanning the fourth through the fifteenth centuries - it represents a distillation of the Eastern Orthodox Tradition of prayer. Prayer of the Heart presents a selection of writings from the complete text, to provide an accessible introduction to the spirit of the great work.
