Conversations on the Epistles

A magnificent modern interpretation of the Epistles. The seven letters of the New Testament, referred to as "epistles" — the letter of the apostle James, two letters of the apostle Peter, three letters of the apostle John, the letter of Jude — are an integral part of the Bible. They have significantly influenced the development of Christian theology. However, these texts, read daily in the Church, remain poorly understood even by committed Christians. Sergey Komarov's book addresses the features of each of the seven epistles at a high level, revealing their theological and moral issues and finding themes relevant to modern people. It is written in a lively and accessible language, understandable for a wide readership. Sergey Komarov manages to combine a popular style of presentation with substantial depth, partly thanks to references to the interpretations of the holy fathers of the Orthodox Church.
In the book, readers will learn why the apostle John the Theologian is called "the apostle of love," what apostle Peter wishes to warn about shortly before his death, what are the reasons for the delay of the second coming of Jesus Christ. Also, why there seems to be a contradiction between the apostle James and the apostle Paul, and what the famous saying "faith without works is dead" means in the letter of James and the general context of New Testament writings.
The book is for everyone interested in Christian teaching, for whom biblical texts are significant as a spiritual guide and as a manifestation of the high spiritual and moral culture of humanity.
