The Meaning of Christian Faith. Answers to Questions of the Mind and Heart

«The Meaning of Christian Faith. Answers to Questions of the Mind and Heart» — a book about the essence of Orthodoxy, written specifically for modern Christians. Have you been attending church for several years? Do you regularly confess and partake of communion, keep fasts and «read» the rules? Do you think that now you understand enough about the faith to consider yourself an «advanced» Orthodox Christian and even give advice to the unfortunate neophytes? Now think again: are you sure that you really understand what we believe and why? Moscow priest Alexander Gumerov has encountered paradoxical and unexpected questions from those who have been in the Church for many years in his pastoral practice. It turns out that one can be a parishioner of a church for many years without comprehending the fundamental foundations of faith, the awareness of which determines our salvation. Father Alexander wrote a book that literally lays out the essence of Christian teaching for modern believers «on the shelves.» It resembles a traditional catechism but answers the most relevant questions faced by parishioners, which the author encountered. Simple language and real examples will help to easily navigate complex issues of doctrinal understanding.
