The Mountain of Silence: Orthodox Book Review
Get the study links over on archive.org
Mountain of Silence- It’s a good introduction to Orthodoxy spirituality and affordable. It’s the first book in a three part series. It covers a lot of key Orthodox spiritual terms and topics. Most of the terms are found in the Bible, and I find the usages of the root terms in scripture and have their definitions (mostly from the Vines and Philokalia) and some verses included in a study guide.
I also add a lot of other quotes for other books and include useful hyperlinks in the guide’s footnotes. I have documented sources but I didn’t not use a standardized documentation format. I cover the main topics of the book in the study guide and have a lot of quotes from the book. I have two versions of the study guide, one 28 pages long and another workbook 33 pages long. I include also PDF versions and Libre office files so the document can be edited as needed.
Covers: Western spirituality vs Orthodoxy, how to pray and methods for getting victory over distracting thoughts like daydreaming
Illnesses of the Heart: Ignorance, Forgetfulness, Hardness of Heart, Contamination, Imprudence
Terms: Metanoia, Nous, Askesis, Logismos, Plani, Theosis, Catharsis, Temptation, Discrimination, Dispassion, and more
Five stages when temped by the logismoi: Assault, Interaction, Consent, Captivity, Passion/Obsession
