Description

The prayer that this book deals with has reached the West only after nearly two thousand years of wandering from Palestine, through Sinai, Athos, and Russia. The Jesus prayer shows how close the Eastern and Western traditions are to one antoher in the matter of true prayer and worship. The author shows not only how the Jesus prayer developed in time and place but also how in itself it is a 'school of prayer, fostering spiritual life ... one of the clues as to how Christianity is to be practised in the society of our day'.
