The Christmas Tales

This volume offers Eastern Orthodox Christian mystical theology for the Western reader. It has different kinds of spiritual writing, treating the realities of the knowledge that drinks in the realities it knows, wisdom from the timeless desert, living the life of Heaven here on earth, symbols that manifest what they represent, the inner world of spiritualities that is no one's merely private possession, a fairy tale pouring forth a wilder reality, shadow and reality, shadowy treasure on earth and real treasures in Heaven, and the God who becamen man that men might become god.
