Long awaited; beautifully published; essential work -- and the price is right!By Alexei FyodorovichThe best thing of its kind -- and it is one of a kind. St. Maxim Ispovednik's most important work; long awaited; is now available from the good folks at Dunbarton Oaks. It is beautifully published in two compact; well priced volumes in both Greek and English. If you care about medieval theology; Byzantine philosophy; or the mystical tradition in Orthodox theology; this work -- both volumes of it -- is not to be missed. This is indispensable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Buy it now in hardbound while its cheap!! ...By Andrew T.Buy it now in hardbound while its cheap!!!!
