By Nicholas Cabasilas Translated by Carmino J. Decatanzaro This outstanding production of late Byzantium’s theological renaissance draws upon the enduring sources of Orthodox spirituality—the Church’s sacramental and liturgical traditions. At a time when secular humanism was increasingly asserting man’s autonomy, Cabasilas proclaimed that man’s true life lies not in himself but in Christ. The resulting devotional classic remains a source of inspiration to this day.
