Lecture 3:  The Life of St. Maria of Paris

Venerable and God-Bearing Father Anastasius the Sinaite

A discourse on the important subjects surrounding the nature of Holy Scripture and its relationship to the Church of Christ. Subjects addressed include the miracle of inspiration, the nature of Scripture as the words of the Word - the very speech of the Holy Trinity; the inspired process and criteria of the canonization of Scripture; the Bible as a locus of spiritual experience, a Theophany and spiritual medicine against the passions; how the Scriptures are utilized in the liturgy and the Christian home; and how to avoid the false dichotomies between the Church and the Bible, Truth, and Jesus Christ.

Lecture 10- Overcoming the Disease of Pride

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present a new five-lecture series by Father Josiah entitled The Father of the Faithful: The Life of the Holy Patriarch Abraham. This series covers the Patriarchal History of Abraham written by the Holy Prophet and God-Seer Moses and found in Genesis Chapters 11-25. The Holy and Righteous Patriarch Abraham is the proto-type believer, the model of authentic faith for all true Christians. Abraham longed to see the day of the Lord Jesus, and he saw it and was glad. His life is a sacred drama most instructive to Christians in which the love of God for Abraham and - through him - the entire world is made manifest.Lecture #1 The First ConvertLecture #2 Conflict with Lot and WarLecture #3 The Friend of GodLecture #4 The IntercessorLecture #5 The Sacrifice of Isaac
