The Illness and Cure of the Soul in the Orthodox Tradition

Metropolitan of Nafpaktos Hierotheos
translated by Effie Mavromichali

“The author’s main conviction which permeates this book is that Orthodox does not provide a ‘system’ of moral conduct but a therapeutic treatment which cures the innermost aspect of man's personality. Archimandrite Hierotheos Vlachos maintains that he does not innovate by stating this, but that he simply highlights a central teaching of the Fathers of the Church: man's soul suffers malady which distorts his relationship with God, his fellow-men and even nature. The Orthodox church is a Hospital which receives all people and cures their spiritual illness.”
