“As one reads the letters of Elder Joseph he perceives that a scent of theology emanates from them – that is that these are theological texts. Unfortunately we have formed the impression that theology is lofty theories, scientific theological analyses, understanding theological terms, quoting historical theological events, etc. How ever true Orthodox theology is experience; it is knowledge of God which is given to the person whose heart and nous have been purified and illuminated…”
