Hesychasm as a book category centers on the Eastern Orthodox contemplative tradition of inner stillness and the Jesus Prayer: it includes practical guides to prayer and ascetic discipline, translations and anthologies of primary texts (e.g., Philokalia, writings of Gregory Palamas), mystical theology on theosis and theoria, spiritual memoirs and biographies of monks and saints, liturgical and iconographic studies, and scholarly histories and debates about its development and controversies. Typical themes are silence, purification of the heart, embodied prayer techniques, experiential knowledge of God, and the relationship between prayer, ascetic practice and theology; audiences range from lay and monastic practitioners seeking practical instruction to clergy, spiritual directors and academics studying Byzantine spirituality.
