Theophonia the divine voice

Saint Symeon the New Theologian

Ethical Discourses 5-15

The remaining ethical discourses examine the gift of the Spirit and the life that should answer it. The opening insists that speech about divine realities must be accompanied by participation and experience, while the collection returns to repentance and the vision of God.
