From the Foreword by Kallistos Ware, Bishop of Diokleia--

Isaac the Syrian, also called Isaac of Nineveh, lived and wrote during "the golden age of Syriac Christian literature" in the seventh century. Cut off by language and politics from the Churches of the Roman Empire and branded "Nestorian," the Church of the East produced in isolation a rich theological literature which is only now becoming known to outsiders. Yet over the centuries and in all parts of Christendom, Isaac's works have been read and recommended as unquestionably orthodox.

Now, at last, to my great delight, we have at our disposal a single book in English, offering us a balanced and comprehensive overview of Isaac's life, background and teaching. Wisely, Fr. Hilarion Alfeyev has allowed Isaac to speak for himself. The book is full of well-chosen quotations, in which Isaac's true voice can be heard.

Saint Isaac of Syria was an ascetic, a mountain solitary, but his writings are universal in scope. They are addressed not just to the desert but to the city, not just to monastics but to all the baptized. With sharp vividness he speaks about themes relevant to every Christian: about repentance and humility, about prayer in its many forms, both outer and inner, about solitude and community, about silence, wonder, and ecstasy. Along with the emphasis that he places upon "luminous love"--to use his own phrase--two things above all mark his spiritual theology: his sense of God as living mystery; and his warm devotion to the Saviour Christ.

Good fitting support !
Size: Medium, Color: White
Just what the man needed. Very good contoured support. No jostling. Not a loose potato sack after an hour of wearing this. Highly recommended. Compare? Hanes, for example. Even the Jockey brand. Put those on, they're tight fitting, seemingly supportive. But they're not. They aren't contoured to fit. That's the whole idea. Contoured, to fit. And stay fitted. The trunk type, just like this wirarpa, and in half an hour it's loose loose loose fitting. A potato sack. No support. No support at all. That's not what a trunk brief is supposed to do. It's supposed to support, give comfort and confidence, stay in place feeling. Assuredness. And this wirarpa Mens Trunk does the job ! Wash and wear and wash and wear. Stays in shape, never gets stretched out and loose, for the fit.

Comfortable & well-fitting, but some differences in stiffness between batches
Size: Medium, Color: Black/Deep Blue/Deep Grey/Heather Grey
I've basically been exclusively buying these since I've discovered them. Super-comfortable and maintain their shape for a long time, but I've noticed from buying it multiple times that sometimes the pouch area has stiffer texture and more support than other times (when it's loose & stretchy like the rest of it). I wish I could specify receiving the more-supported ones because they tend to produce less....how to say, knocking the boys around.

Look great, feel great
Size: Large, Color: Black
These feel great and fit well. With most briefs I tend to the trouble either keeping the front in or not having the back cover everything but these do both things and are very soft. They also look great, even on body types not in the promo picture. They are a great set of briefs and have held up so far and I got mine a little around a year ago and wear them often.
