The Word of God and the Word of Man. Roman Speeches

The name of Sergey Sergeyevich Averintsev — a scholar and thinker of truly vast proportions — is one of the most significant in domestic culture in recent decades. This collection includes both classic texts and final reflections from the last... years of his life; enlightening speeches on Russian Orthodoxy and its special value in a global context, as well as socio-political essays on the state of Christian culture in the modern secular world. An important place in the speeches in the last years of the scholar's life was occupied by reflections on the deep interconnection between Russian and European cultures, on the creation of a space for meeting and dialogue, and a return to the unifying Christian roots of both cultures.
