Recenzje

«...this is a volume that offers a remarkable series of multi-layered perspectives on to the rich 'alter orbis' that is Athonite spirituality. Indeed it is in itself a kind of bridge between Athos and the wider world - and one could hardly hope for more than that.» (Marcus Plested, Annual Report of the Friends of Mount Athos)
