Valuable introduction to ancient apocryphal Judeo-Christian literature

Revisado: 04-02-24

Fr. De Young provides a helpful crtitical introduction to ancient extra-biblical texts that have held value for Christian history and practice. His aim is to contextualise them within an Eastern Orthodox Christian spiritual context. I found his introduction to these texts very helpful, and am looking forward to adding some of them to my home library and reading them for additional insights into how early Christians wrote about their spiritual life in the Way of Jesus Christ, and the blessings it brought to them.

Important questions that need to be asked

Revisado: 01-28-24

This is quite a good work addressing a lot of the questions about vegetarian/vegan ethic and scriptural interpretation and how these can be seen to be compatible and mutually supportive. This is very important work and I hope that Ryan Hicks and many other will continue to do more work in examining and building the understanding of the ethics, benefits to people, environment, and animals, that result from returning to the diet that according to Genesis, God originally designed and estsblished for human beings, as well as animals. From a health side there the National Health Association that knows and promotes the evidence-based science of plant-based nutrition through their Health Science podcast and other activities. I have personally been eating this way for 10 years and have benefitted immensely in terms of both physical and intellectual health. A few years ago I discovered Orthodox Christianity which is the ancient form of Christianity practiced in Greece, the Balkan states, Russia, Palestine, and the Middle East. I found in reading the lives of many of the saints recorded in the Synaxarion, many of them specifically noted their vegetable based diets, free from animal products, which stated or implied bot causing harm to animals. Many of the ascetics who followed poant based diets lived until a ripe old age with strength snd mental acuity, as is still the case with many of the ascetics who devote their life to prayer as monastics on Mount Athos or other Orthodox monastic communities. With what we know today about nutrition, we should transition back to a healthy, delicious plant rich way of eating. And for the difficult to obtain nutrients such as B12, DHA, and a few others, we can supplement them, and avoid the consumption of sea animals, eggs, and dairy that are still commonly used to supplement the mainly vegetarian diets of the monks, and observers of Orthodox fasting periods.

Interesting autobiography

Revisado: 01-03-24

Details the psychological, philosophical and worldview developments of a young Greek man expressed in his own words, with some quotes from famous people and a lot of description of his experiences being raised by a zealot old calendar mother and living for seven years as a zealot athonite monk in his youth, and how he returned to worldly life. It is a very simple and straightforward narrative. I think the author could continue writing and editing this autobiography to develop it more, and to include more details and reflect on how his thinking has been developong and how he makes sense of modern Greece, the modern West, and global and intercultural history and eschatology.

Great true story of courage

Revisado: 11-07-23

Scott Stoll bridges the subject object split by venturing around the world on a bicycle and reflecting upon his experiences and thoughts vis-a-vis the people and ideas that informed his outer and inner journey and his writing. Great story, read by the author, and true in more ways than one.

Excellent recording for spiritual meditation

Revisado: 10-24-23

This is a very well produced recording of an English language ascetical intoned reading including choir chanting in some refrains between psalms. This recording is very good for Christian Orthodox traditional spiritual meditation and prayer. It is a deep breath of fresh air for the body, soul, and spirit.
