Episode 11: “Keep Thy Mind in Hell and Despair Not”
Unit 16: “Sts. Silouan and Sophrony the Athonites: Principles of the Christian Life”, by Prof. Christopher Veniamin
Series: “Mystical Theology"
Based on the reading of St. Sophrony’s chapter, “Keep Thy Mind in Hell and Despair Not”, in Saint Silouan the Athonite, Episode 11 attempts to discern the practical significance of the great word given to St. Silouan the Athonite after 15 long years of arduous struggle against that most subtle of passions, pride. Presented by Prof. Christopher Veniamin, a spiritual child of St. Sophrony.
It is hoped that these presentations will help the enquirer discern the interwoven character of Orthodox theology and the Orthodox Christian life, and to identify the ascetic and pastoral significance of the Orthodox ethos.
Q&As related to Episode 11 available in The Professor’s Blog.
Recommended background reading: Saint Silouan the Athonite, by St. Sophrony the Athonite; and The Enlargement of the Heart, by Archimandrite Zacharias
