5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 14 Feb 2009
By Noddy (U.K.) - See all my reviews
An academic goes to visit Mt. Athos, and is so taken with the life of the monks and their charismatic abbot, that when he hears the abbot has been sent to minister on the island of Cyprus, he jumps at the opportunity to get to know him better, and find out at first hand about the Orthodox way of life. He obtains permission from the abbot to live in the monastery as a monk, and is given the duty of chauffeur. This position allows him to have many forthright conversations with the Abbot, as he drives him around the island on his various pastoral missions. Often the situations are deeply personal, and bring up difficult questions both about the monk's way of life, and his relationship to the wider world. The questions often seem to be those you would yourself want to ask, posed in a very direct yet open-minded way and the abbot's responses are full of the insights of the Orthodox tradition, thought-provoking and clear, with an obvious sensitivity to the problems of the modern world. The book shows how an ancient Christian tradition, apparently fossilised on the timeless Mt Athos, is very much alive, vibrant and necessary. Very worthwhile.
