Fr. Seraphim Rose Speaks: Excerpts from His Writings

* September 2 is the anniversary of the repose of Hieromonk Seraphim Rose. I plan to post extensively on Father Seraphim throughout this week.


The Orthodox Christian Information Center hosts a large collection of Father Seraphim's writings on various subjects, as well as several chapters from the massive biography by Hieromonk Damascene, Father Seraphim Rose ~ His Life and Works, and assorted other articles about Father Seraphim. Rather than try to re-post these resources here, I am offering this page as something of an online index, and linking directly to the articles on the OCIC site.

The articles posted below are primarily of a general or introductory nature. There are many more theological articles by Blessed Hieromonk Seraphim at OCIC which can be easily found by entering "seraphim rose" into the search field at OCIC.
