Description

"Lineaments - an outline, feature, or contour of a body or figure, especially of a face. In this culmination of his life's work, the popular Orthodox lay theologian and translator of the Philokalia draws from the depths of tradition the "face" of Christianity as a world religion. Through a critique of the modern scientific and rationalist paradigm, Sherrard seeks to restore the foundations of Christian cosmology and ecology, and to reaffirm the prime importance of xacred symbolism and art. The book includes a creative engagement with non-Christian traditions, with the "metaphysical logic" of René Guenon, and with distinctively modern thinkers such as Nietzsche and Jung.
Readers will, as always, find Sherrard's argument and insights fresh, provoking and challenging. The volume begins with a major biographical essay and commentary on Sherrard's oeuvre by Kallistos Ware."
