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.”
