The Inner Kingdom focuses on the themes central to Eastern Christian worship and spiritual life. The opening chapter recounts the author’s journey to Orthodoxy. The next two chapters provide profound and illuminating insights on death, bereavement, and resurrection in Christ, as well as repentance. The following four chapters bring us into the world of the desert ascetics and hesychast monks. Combining scholarly rigor with practical counsels on prayer, Metropolitan Kallistos makes the wealth of the Orthodox tradition accessible to today’s Christians. The next three chapters concern personal vocation, martyrdom, spiritual guidance, and the strange path of the fool for Christ’s sake, followed by a brief essay on time and eternity. The final chapter discusses the legacy of Origen in relation to Saints Gregory of Nyssa, Isaac the Syrian, and Silouan the Athonite, and in conversation with them Metropolitan Kallistos asks, “Dare we hope for the salvation of all?”
METROPOLITAN KALLISTOS WARE (1934–2022) was an English bishop, scholar, and theologian. He is perhaps best known for his books: The Orthodox Church (Penguin), The Orthodox Way (SVS Press), and the English translation of the Philokalia (Faber). From 1966 to 2001, he was Spalding Lecturer of Eastern Orthodox Studies at the University of Oxford, and he was a leading voice in the Orthodox Church, well-known and loved throughout the world, speaking equally to laypeople and specialists, on both timeless mysteries and urgent contemporary concerns.

And God said, “Let us make man according to our image and likeness” (Gen 1.26). The mystery of the Trinity and the mystery of the human person are intricately connected, and thus it is fitting that we come to know both God and man in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ, the last Adam (1 Cor 15.45) in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily (Col 2.9). This second volume of Met. Kallistos’ collected works explores the mystery of the Trinity and of the human person created in the image of God. The first four chapters specifically address the mystery of the Trinity and the imago Dei, followed by a chapter that examines the unique human vocation as both “Microcosm and Mediator” (Chapter 5). Finally, the remaining chapters investigate several diverse subjects and themes that collectively help to constitute our identity and characterize our lives as image-bearers: the body, the mind (nous and noēsis), the passions, marriage, tears, forgiveness, the soul, prayer, and the heart. With wonted erudition, wit, and pastoral sensitivity, Met. Kallistos leads readers to greater understanding of the human person and of the God in whose image we are created.
