by Priest-Monk Silouan (Author)
Wisdom, Glory and the Name, ' is a book of gnomic wisdom chapters in two 'Centuries, ' an ancient monastic wisdom genre employed for a millennium, and revered but unused for seven centuries. It completes a Tetralogy of twelve Centuries, beginning with 'Wisdom Songs, ' a book of wisdom chapters in five Centuries, 'Wisdom and Wonder, ' in two Centuries, and 'Wisdom, Prophecy and Prayer, ' in three Centuries. The cycle begins and ends with the Name, and this final volume with the glory of the Name discerned by wisdom. Priest-monk Silouan lives in the Monastery of St Antony and St Cuthbert, a hermitage within the Romanian jurisdiction of the Orthodox Church, high up in the south-west Shropshire hills. Fr. Silouan lives alone under the Shepherd's rock on the eastern slopes of the Stiperstones, in an old miner's cottage on a small-holding of twenty acres of pasture and woodland. He lives a life of prayer, silence, liturgy and work in the ancient tradition of orthodox monasticism. '
