by Augustin Ioan
Translated by Alina Ciric
With a Preface by Archbishop Chrysostomos

“In this book we find[...]the language and concepts, as well as the paradigms and philosophical and epistemological categories, that open up to us a new dimension of thought—the realm of that middle ground in which we study the ineffable effably and contextualize what is noetic, bringing into reach what lies beyond the normal parameters of our cognitive and dianoetic reach. Therein lies its ultimate value. It is not only a trenchantly insightful treatise on sacred space, with implications[...]for Orthodox theological studies; beyond this, its methodological approach addresses the universal need for a model in which to study all of those issues of an ontological and existential kind that intersect with matters of importance in the theological realm.”
