Agape,

The Titles of Christ
By Matthew the Poor

Paperback (May 2008)
ISBN: 978-1-933275-21-5
Price: $18.95 + S&H (USD)

Father Matthew the Poor (Fr. Matta El-Meskeen), the well known Coptic Orthodox Abbot of the St. Macarius Monastery from the deserts of Egypt, has fallen asleep in the Lord; however, he has left behind a great legacy. He labored to preserve so zealously the holy tradition of the Gospel as it was expounded by the early spiritual masters, like the Great Anthony, the professor of the desert, and the great ecumenical teachers, like St. Athanasius and St. Cyril. This book expounds the rich meaning of the person of the Blessed Lord of all humanity, who has offered Himself for all and wants all to be one. Father Matta's book will help every reader to return to the Lord who created us and who invites us to a perfect salvation and eternal life.

+Iryny nem `hmot ,

Thanks! Smile

Do you know where his Biblical commentaries are available in English? I was told that there was a working translation available somewhere, but I'm not sure where.

Pray for me, please.

Thanks

Enjoy!

He is really deep, takes you big intellectual jumps to follow.. i find his books too to be a challenging read, but they are fantastic!!

hmmm, you heard of Peter Kreeft? i've listened to a few of his lectures, and while not absolutely correct on church tradition or his views are not exactly 100% tarnished towards our believes, he does say a lot of good stuff, look him up, you might like him. He is mainly philosophical, but he is a christian one at that, so it is a very nice mix to read!! He brings Christianity into philosophy, or philosophy from a Christian perspective, he is a very nice read and quite an engaging speaker.

I have heard of him, but have not read his work. Maybe I can audit his class next semester...thanks for the heads up.

Whats your opinion of the Russian philosophical dogmaticians Florensky, Bulgakov, and Bukharev? Also, have you read David Bentley Hart's The Beauty of the Infinite and Panteleimon Manoussakis God after Metaphysics? They are very interesting.
