The most ancient name for Christianity is 'the Way,' and it is through this journey that the tradition of Orthodox Christianity is presented. Rather than offering an abstract overview of Orthodoxy, this work invites readers to embark on a spiritual journey into the mystery of God through the living experience of the Orthodox Church. Metropolitan Kallistos emphasizes the necessity of a knowledgeable guide for this journey, akin to having an experienced companion when exploring unfamiliar terrain or climbing mountains. Such a guide, or mystagogue, is essential for ascending Mount Sinai to encounter the divine and for climbing Mount Tabor to witness the transfigured Lord. This book serves as that guide, leading readers into the profound mysteries of faith and spirituality. Now presented in a new edition with a Foreword by Fr John Behr, it speaks to contemporary seekers, continuing to illuminate the path of the Orthodox Way. About the Author: Metropolitan Kallistos Ware is a distinguished writer and lecturer whose works have profoundly influenced the understanding of Orthodox Christianity and shaped contemporary Orthodox thought.
