On Inner Work in Christ
Bringing hesychast practice to non-monastics
Theoliptos of Philadelphia's distinctive contribution: hesychast practice adapted for people living outside the monastery. How inner attention, prayer of the heart, and watchfulness can be practiced amid the responsibilities of life in the world. Especially relevant for contemporary readers seeking to adapt the Philokalia's monastic wisdom to their own circumstances.
The tradition itself was already addressing this question in the thirteenth century. This text is the evidence.
