Patrons play a major role in the mission of SVS Press to spread the gospel and educate the world about Orthodox Christianity. Patrons who sponsor SVS Press titles boost SVS Press & Bookstore revenues, which in turn feed the Seminary’s annual operational fund. 100% of the net profit of SVS Press revenue directly supports the training of future priests and lay leaders in the Church.
As a Patron of an SVS Press book, you will receive gratis copies of the book once published, as well as a printed acknowledgement in the book.

Jean Daniélou's Platonism and Mystical Theology is a seminal study of the spiritual theology of
St Gregory of Nyssa, which acknowledges the Platonic roots and affinities of some of his
vocabulary and concepts, while arguing that his vision is fundamentally Christian and
scripturally grounded, itself serving as the foundation of later articulations of spiritual or mystical
theology.
