Serge Bolshakoff Wisdom for the Journey. Conversations with Spiritual Fathers of the Christian East Translated from English by Maria Bancila Serge Bolshakoff remained a layman and described himself as a writer on religious subjects. The list of his publications, which are in several languages, is a long one. It is made up of works, always scholarly, on the historical and social aspects of Christianity, ecumenism, prayer and mysticism. Some have a personal quality, like the conversations published here. These accounts have a vivid quality so that we can feel ourselves being drawn alongside the author into the presence of these great teachers of life and religion as they talk with him. They are profoundly enlightening about Eastern Orthodox spirituality. These qualities derive from the nature of the encounters: they are between a man of devout Orthodox faith with an unusual skill for interviewing and then recording what was said and men advanced in the life of prayer, some of whom were true mystics.
