Mark the Monk, On the spiritual law (De lege spirituali. Sources Chrétiennes 445, s. 75-129)

Arkadiusz Jasiewicz

Abstract

The brief work here translated is the most known legacy of St Mark the Monk. Mark is known to the modern reader, if he is known at all, as the author of three works found in St Nikodimos the H agiorite’s Philokalia: “Letter to the Monk Nicholas”, “On the Spiritual Law” and “On Those Who Think They are Justified by Their Works”. In “Spiritual Law” Mark insists that Christian freedom necessarily means, not lawlessness, but obedience to Christ’s “law of liberty”. The aim of this translation is therefore to make Mark’s complete work accessible in Polish.
