Archbishop Chrysostomos
Number XLVI of Monographic Supplement Series
“This monograph[...]is the latest essay in my effort to approach various non-Orthodox thinkers and cultural and religious figures of note from an Orthodox perspective. In this undertaking, I have chosen individuals who have influenced me personally or to whom I have developed, through others, a secondhand personal attachment. My purpose is to identify universal themes and images in their works that reflect the catholic (universal) doctrines, beliefs, intuitions, and ethos of the Greek Fathers and the Eastern Orthodox Church, even though from outside the immediate domain of our Faith. I do so, for an Orthodox and heterodox readership alike, in the spirit of the Church Fathers, which is so well represented by St. Basil the Great, who wrote a wonderful discourse to youth on the correct use of Greek literature. In this work, which he actually wrote for his own nephews, the Saint exhorts us to adorn our minds with non-Christian secular learning, comparing it to leaves that grace and protect the fruit of a tree. Of course, he advises that we do so with caution and discernment, taking from pagan books, specifically, that which is fitting and consistent with the truth, and rejecting what is not.”
