St. Symeon the New Theologian

Rendered in free verse, these hymns (some of them quite lengthy) challenge the reader to internalize the values of the Faith. They are well suited for devotional reading, but are not mere tracts, but rather poetic proclamations of Christian doctrine. They are spiritual reading at its best, singing of St. Symeon's interpretation of his life and his relationship with God in the light of the Scriptures and the Fathers, with heartfelt zeal and biblical imagery making the teachings of the Fathers intimately relevant for each of us.
