Exomologetarion On Repentance And Confession

The book delves into the depths of Orthodox Christian moral theology, exploring the nuanced distinctions between mortal and forgivable sins. Structured as a guide for confessors and spiritual counsellors, it examines the spiritual "diagnosis" of sins as though they were ailments, distinguishing between acts that sever one's love for God, those that compromise love for one's neighbor, and the remedies offered through confession and repentance. In clear detail, it addresses the hierarchy of sins, their impact on the soul, and the necessary virtues that heal and restore communion with God and others. Drawing from the wisdom of the Church Fathers and ancient Christian teachings, the text serves as both a manual for spiritual growth and a profound meditation on divine and human love, aimed at nurturing a life of holiness through love for God and neighbour alike.
