Description
Les études rassemblées dans ce livre ont pour but de faire découvrir les richesses encore peu connues de l'Orthodoxie, héritière des Pères grecs. L'auteur, selon le cardinal Yves Congar, « a sur tout autre spécialiste l'avantage d'entrer dans l'intime des doctrines et de deviner comme sans effort le secret du jardin ferm?. « La lecture de cet ouvrage, écrit le cardinal Jean Daniélou, fut pour moi décisive. Il cristallise quelque chose que je cherchais, une vision de l'homme transfiguré par les énergies divines [...]. Ce qui fait la valeur exceptionnelle de l'oeuvre de Madame Lot-Borodine, c'est qu'elle a retrouvé l'expression vivante de la mystique byzantine et qu'elle a su la faire percevoir. Ce qui nous est donné ici est plus qu'un travail d'érudition. » En effet, on sent passer à travers ces pages le souffle d'un Maxime le Confesseur, d'un Grégoire de Nysse et de toute la tradition grecque et orientale affirmant avec force et lyrisme que l'être humain a été créé à l'image de Dieu, à l'image du Verbe. Son destin est de s'enraciner tout entier dans l'Esprit, de spiritualiser jusqu'aux forces somatiques du composé humain et du cosmos, et ainsi de parachever la Création sur le modèle du Verbe.

The studies assembled in this book permit readers discover the still little-known riches of Orthodoxy, the heritage of the Greek Fathers. The author, as Cardinal Yves Congar said, has an advantage over all other specialists that of entering into an intimate relation with doctrines and effortlessly identifying the secret of their locked garden". "The reading of this book," writes Cardinal Jean Daniélou, "was decisive for me. It crystallises something I was seeking, a vision of man transfigured by divine energies [...]. What makes Madame Lot-Borodine's book exceptionally valuable is that she has restored the living expression of Byzantine mysticism and succeeded in conveying it to us. What she brings is more than a work of erudition." We can indeed feel the energy of Maximus the Confessor, of Gregory of Nyssa, in these pages, and all the Greek and Eastern tradition stating with force and lyricism that the human being was created in the image of God, the image of the Word. His destiny is to take root entirely in the Spirit, to spiritualize the very somatic forces of what makes up the human and the cosmos, and so perfect the Creation taking the Word as model.
