This translation, based on an authoritative Greek edition, makes it accessible to English readers for the first time. Publisher Description Today the Byzantine mystic, writer, and monastic leader Symeon the New Theologian (ca. 949 to 1022 ce) is considered a saint by the Orthodox Church and revered as one of its most influential spiritual thinkers. But in his own time a cloud of controversy surrounded him and the suspicion of heresy tainted his reputation long afterward.The Life was written more than thirty years after Symeons death by his disciple and apologist the theologian Niketas Stethatos, who also edited all of Symeons spiritual writings. An unusually valuable piece of Byzantine hagiography, it not only presents compelling descriptions of Symeons visions, mystical inspiration, and role as a monastic founder, but also provides vivid glimpses into the often bitter and unpleasantly conflicted politics of monasticism and the construction of sanctity and orthodoxy at the zenith of the medieval Byzantine Empire. Although the many volumes of Symeons spiritual writings are now readily available in English, the present translation makes the Life accessible to English readers for the first time. It is based on an authoritative edition of the Greek. Author Biography Richard P. H. Greenfield is Professor of Byzantine History at Queens University, Kingston, Ontario.
