  1. 1. Christianity And Eros

    A reflection on how Christian tradition understands and reshapes eros, arguing that authentic faith does not simply suppress human desire but transfigures and integrates it within a spiritual path; drawing on Eastern Orthodox theology and patristic insights, the book critiques modern secular approaches to sexuality, stresses the role of ascetic practice and sacramental life, and presents erotic longing as capable of pointing beyond itself toward a deeper, mystical union with God when rightly ordered by love and virtue.
