Fr. Alexander Elchaninov Faith Comes from Love Translated from Russian by Boris Buzila Alexander Viktorovici Elchaninov (1881-1934) is a follower like his elder friend and mentor Sergius Bolgakov, his former schoolmate, the scholar and philosopher Pavel Florensky, and the historian and thinker Nikolai Berdiaev, of the way opened by the Russian intellectuals of profane philosophical and cultural formation who at the beginning of the XX-th century have drawn near and dedicated themselves to theology and become brilliant exegetes and apologists of the Word of God. Because Fr. Alexander came to the priesthood through the gates of secular culture, this book will be of particular value to all struggling to live the Christian life in an increasingly secular and materialistic world. He writes on themes of universal concern ? on sin and nervous disease, on marriage, on the meaning of art, on facing illness and death. Format: ISBN: 973-7623-41-X «« back
