Questions Kids Ask about Sex: Honest Answers for Every Age Book

This is a book that changed my life and made me want to be a Christian after years of immersing myself in other 'Eastern' Religions, nihilism and Sufi Islam. This review should be seen in that light and in this respect is deeply personal.

Lossky's Mystical Theology spoke to me after I got to know Lossky through Iconography. How did this happen? I was actually reading a book on Islamic Gnostic Mysticism, which while profoundly critical of Christianity, had a little note by either Lossky or Von Balthasar about Iconography. Either way, it ultimately pointed me to an article by Lossky on Icons. Reading this simple explanation of the image of God by Lossky, incredible as it sounds, there and then convinced me that Christianity was true and I've never looked back. This book built on that firm foundation and strengthened it much further.

In a broad sense, one in which I believe others will agree, herein lies everything one could ask from a book on Theology- Gods majesty, the great call to Man and the importance of each person, the goodness of creation, the personal love that we are to share together and the importance of community.

Although a cradle Roman Catholic, this book brought Theology to life for me like no other at the time. I particularly welcomed the different emphasis on the Transfiguration and the Holy Spirit! Other Christians could gain immeasurably from this as a call to permanent personal change.

The critique of the idea of 'the dark night' was good, but could be balanced out by Merton's 'New Seeds...'.

Alas, I can't do justice to this beautiful book here, but would recommend it highly for any Christian seeking a broader and deeper understanding of the Triune God, in history and beyond space-time as we know it.
All of this, is put forward in a clear, eloquent and passionate witness; needless to say this will not be my last reading of Vladimir Lossky's Magnum Opus.
