Description

How is our Christian faith properly lived? Is
Christianity a series of abstract teachings to which we, as individuals, give
our mental or emotional assent? Or, as Russian Archbishop and New Martyr Ilarion
(Troitsky) argues, is the true aim of Christian life the transformation of our
whole being as members of the Body of Christ, His Church?

This classic translation is refreshed for the first time with fresh
typesetting and interior design. Questions for group discussion or personal
reflection have been added, as well as a biography of the author, subject and
Scripture indexes.

Author Biography

Saint Ilarion (Troitsky)
born in1886 was a Russian Orthodox bishop and theologian, whose
most lasting legacy is his writings on Ecclesiology. Finding himself at the
center of the Russian Orthodox Church’s administration as Patriarch Tikhon’s
intimate counselor and vicar bishop, the saint quickly met with the ire of the
Bolshevik authorities. First arrested in 1919, he was sent into internal exile
multiple times, including a stint in Solovky, a Soviet labor camp. He ultimately
reposed  in 1929 of typhoid fever contracted during his imprisonment and is
numbered among the New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia.
