Teachings of the Holy Fathers
In this chapter words of the Holy Fathers are published which are extracts from their in-God experiences and which express, exactly and in truth, the God-inspired teaching of our Orthodox Church.
Our Holy Fathers – just as our Lord – desired the salvation of the whole human race, and when they spoke they aimed at catechising (instructing) the faithful and safeguarding them from heretical teachings, setting forth their personal holy and spiritual experience, which many times they expressed using their secular education.
