Dear Friends:

September—which is fast approaching—is traditionally the beginning of the ecclesiastical year. This is why many Collections of Lives of Saints begin with the month of September. Now is thus the perfect time to purchase a collection of Saints’ lives to read throughout the coming liturgical year.

We have several such collections in our Collections of Lives of Saints section, and we are pleased to announce several new additons.

Firstly, the recent addition of Volume Six and Volume Seven of the ever-popular The Synaxarion: The Lives of the Saints of the Orthodox Church brings this series to completion.

Secondly, the March Volume of The Great Collection of The Lives of the Saints by Saint Dimitry of Rostov was released this year.

And finally, we have added another seminal collection of Saints’ lives, The Great Synaxaristes of the Orthodox Church. The volumes in this collection are massive—most are over 1,000 pages long!—and filled with iconographic illustrations.

Here a some of the Collections of Lives of Saints arranged according to the liturgical year that you will find in our bookstore.

Dear Friends:

The Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies will be issuing the first complete text in the English language of The Evergetinos, a classical Orthodox collection of the sayings and aphorisms of the Desert Fathers (as well as other Hesychastic writings) in a four-book library set, corresponding to the original Greek publication. These four volumes will be available in an attractive hardbound edition, in two-color printing (red and black), with Byzantine-style line drawings, and replete with the original Prologue of St. Nicodemos the Hagiorite, an historical introduction by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna, a Preface by Hieromonk Dr. Gorazd, Director of the Institute of Eastern Christianity at the Charles University in Prague, and footnotes and indices. Each volume will be approximately 400 pages in length.

This monumental Patristic translation, twenty years in preparation, is the most important publication yet undertaken by the Center for Traditionalist Orthodox Studies. The Evergetinos, compiled by St. Makarios of Corinth and first published by St. Nicodemos in 1783, is a companion volume of The Philokalia—indeed a precursor, of sorts, to that work—, and together with it an essential and classical spiritual guide for Orthodox Christians seeking the inner life of spiritual transformation. The project, a collaborative effort, was initiated by Archbishop Chrysostomos while he was a Visiting Scholar at Oxford University in 1988 and continued to completion under his direction and editorship, and that of Hieromonk Patapios, with the collaboration of Bishop Ambrose of Methone, Bishop Auxentios of Photike, Monk Chrysostomos, Dr. Constantine Kokenes, Nun Lydia, Professor John V. Petropoulos, the late Professor John V. Rexine, and Reverend Gregory Telepneff.

Hardbound (faux leather, gold embossed), Four Books

Dear Friends:

In our Church Bells section, we have a 23" Bronze Bell at 60% off!. This is a rough bronze bell with some superficial fissuring around the tang (the piece of metal from which the bell is hung), a result of the casting process. Normally, these surface cracks are machined off when the bell is finished, but this one was accidentally shipped to us before this final procedure was completed. The fissuring is strictly a minor cosmetic defect that in no way impairs the soundness of the bell, either structurally or tonally. It really is an impressive instrument with a powerful sound, and at 60% off, it is quite a steal.
