The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality – Kyriacos C. Markides

The Mountain of Silence: A Search for Orthodox Spirituality by Kyriacos C. Markides is an exploration of the spiritual life, monasticism, and living tradition of the Orthodox Church.

Continuing his encounters with Orthodox monastic spirituality, Markides follows Father Maximos, a monk connected with Mount Athos, to Cyprus. Through conversations, personal reflections, history, and encounters with monastic life, the book examines prayer, spiritual struggle, the saints, and the Orthodox understanding of man's relationship with God.

Rather than approaching Orthodoxy solely as a subject of theology or history, The Mountain of Silence explores the lived spiritual tradition of the Church through dialogue and experience.

It is an engaging choice for readers interested in Orthodox spirituality, Mount Athos, monasticism, prayer, and the inner life.
