Description

St. Nikodim (Nikodemos) was one of the main
figures in the monastic revival on Mt. Athos in the second half of the
eighteenth century. He is perhaps best known as the compiler of “The
Philokalia” and the author of “Unseen Warfare.” This edition
offers a collection of chapters from his classic work “The Spiritual
Exercises”, translated into English from a Russian edition. It provides a
series of meditations on questions touching on man’s salvation and the pursuit
of human perfection.

Author Biography

Venerable Nikodim
(Nikodemos) of the Holy Mountain (1749-1808) is one of
the most well known Greek saints of recent times.  Having received an excellent
education he entered monasticism on the Holy Mountain, where he labored in
asceticism for many years, fighting for the purity of Church
tradition.

The works of St. Nikodim are distinguished by their
multifaceted character.  From his pen came the collections of patristic works
known as the “Philokalia” and “Evergetinos,” commentaries on the psalms, the
epistles, and the Church canons and liturgical texts; ascetic and polemical
works, lives of the Greek new martyrs, and other works as
well.
