German translations

[Anthony]

I am having some difficulty finding Orthodox texts in German, including the Liturgy and prayers, for German friends who are interested (an on-line version would be fine). I was also wondering if classic introductions like "The Orthodox Church" by Timothy Ware have been translated (I can't find them).

I will be grateful for any leads!

Thank you, John; that sounds just what I am looking for. I will pass the information on.

Dear Anthony,

The Monastery of St. Job of Pochaev in Munich publishes Orthodox liturgical and Patristic texts. I know that they have published a German prayer book, psalter, and all of the services for the first week of Great Lent and for Holy Week. They have just put out a German translation of Lubov Millar's biography of the New Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth, who was herself a German convert. The monastery's email adress is: hiobmon@rocor.de

There is also a German language Orthodox quarterly periodical, "Der Schmale Pfad", published by a wonderful man and a fine translator, Johannes Wolf. He can be contacted at: alfred_johannes.wolf@freenet.de and is probably the most up-to-date as to exactly what Orthodox literature is available in German. The current issue, No. 11, which I received just today, has articles by Archbishop Averki, St. Ignaty Brianchaninov, St. Theophan the Recluse, Fr. Seraphim Rose, and about St. John Cassian, the monastic life, the new martyrs of Russia, and a translation of the Akathist for Holy Communion, just to give you a sample. I hope your friends will find this helpful. In Christ, m. evfrosinia

Thank you, Mother Evfrosinia, for these resources. I will try to get hold of them. I would be particularly interested to read the biography of the New Martyr Grand Duchess Elizabeth myself.

In Christ,
Anthony
