What does it mean to know God - not as doctrine, but as living encounter? Symeon the New Theologian spent a lifetime insisting that the answer was not optional.

Born in 949 in Asia Minor and formed by the monastic tradition of Byzantine Constantinople, Symeon became one of the most demanding and most luminous voices in the history of Christian mysticism. He was exiled for his convictions. He refused the bishopric offered to restore him. He wrote poetry of extraordinary intimacy about visions of divine light that no language could fully contain. And he challenged, with urgent clarity, every generation of Christians who perform the forms of their faith without having undergone the transformation those forms are designed to produce.
