Ex-Homologetarion
Manual of Confession by St. Nicodemus of the Holy Mountain
Book •
The 'Ex-Homologetarion' by St. Nicodemus the Hagiorite is an influential Orthodox manual addressing confession, penitential practice, and spiritual direction, grounded in patristic sources.
Compiled in the 18th century, it offers pastoral instructions for priests and spiritual fathers and guidance for penitents seeking repentance and healing.
The work includes commentary on the Canons of St. John the Faster and emphasizes therapeutic, ascetical approaches to sin rather than juridical penalties.
It has been widely used in the Orthodox world for catechesis, confession preparation, and monastic formation.
Modern editions and translations make this manual accessible to contemporary English-speaking Orthodox faithful.
