A spiritual classic from the great St. Gregory Palamas is now available in English from Patristic Nectar Publications.
Among the press’ latest publications is Saint Peter the Athonite, which presents the life of the first Athonite hermit. Patristic Nectar writes:
We are thrilled to announce the release of Saint Peter the Athonite, a profound work by St. Gregory Palamas, now available in hardcover and paperback. This beautifully crafted volume invites you to explore the life of St. Peter, the first hermit of Mount Athos, chronicling his transformation from a soldier into a devout ascetic.
Through St. Gregory’s eloquent narrative, readers witness St. Peter’s unwavering commitment to solitude, prayer, and spiritual warfare. Guided by visions of the Theotokos and sustained by divine grace, his life exemplifies the heights of hesychastic spirituality and the profound depth of devotion to Christ.
