The Threshold

Trials at the Crossroads of Eternity

Beschreibung

"St Ignatius's examines the mystical boundaries that govern the life of a Christian: the one, between life and death; and the other, between the visible, physical realm and the spiritual realm according to the Early Church Fathers (including the patristic fathers: St Basil the Great, St Isaac the Syrian, St John of Damascus, and St John of the Ladder) and the teaching of Scripture as understood by the Orthodox Christian tradition. He also discusses the nature of the soul and his theological assertion regarding the essence of the incorporeal beings. This will aid in the spiritual struggle against wickedness and prepare the reader for life in the heavenly kingdom, salvation. Ignatius sees death as sacrament, the birth of a person from this earthly, temporary life, into eternity"--
