The Holy Fathers of Orthodox Spirituality, Pt. I - Fr. Seraphim Rose

Part I/III titled “The Inspiration and Sure Guide to True Christianity Today“ from Fr. Seraphim Rose’s insight on the centrality and essential witness of the Orthodox Holy Fathers. Fr. Seraphim highlights the witness of recent men who have faithfully witnessed to the vital importance of the Holy Fathers, such as St. Ignatius Brianchaninov, St. Theophan the Recluse, and Archbishop Theophan of Poltava ( 1940). He discusses how knowing the teachings of the Fathers guides us amidst growing modern academia, ecumenism, and other soul destroying falsehoods and heresies. This article was first published in The Orthodox Word in 1974 (Vol. 10, No. 5 (. 1974), pp. 188-195). The text can be found here: Fr. Seraphim, pray to God for us!
