Диалоги. часть 1 из 2 - Протоиерей Валентин Свенцицкий - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The book "Dialogues" was written by Rev. Valentin Sventsitsky in 1928 in Siberian exile. This is perhaps the most remarkable, in its integrity, experience of Orthodox Christian apology in Russian church literature of the twentieth century. It must be said that this experience is far from being fully appreciated. It is difficult to compare anything with this not so large in volume, but clearly thought out, clearly and convincingly structured work. Having resorted to the genre of dialogues, known in apologetics since the first centuries of Christianity - conversations between a questioning beginner and an experienced leader (in the book they bear the names of “Unknown” and “Spirituality”), the author built a consistent explanation of Orthodox Christianity from the question of God, to the end - inspired a call to spiritual life, concentrated in the author’s precious formula “a monastery in the world.” This final work for Father Valentin was written by him in exile, and then rewritten in parts by his spiritual children in Moscow. The manuscripts lost during the years of arrests and exile were found by them many years later, reprinted and subsequently included in samizdat.
