About This Book

This work surveys Eastern Christianity and contrasts it with Western forms, using observations from journeys in Russia and visits to desert monasteries to illustrate differing spiritual temperaments. It interweaves descriptions of church life, monastic disciplines, hermitages, and popular religious customs with reflections on the complementary paths of active service and contemplative devotion. The author examines how national character and religious ideals shape communal life, considers figures and movements that exemplify tensions within faith, and traces links between Egyptian monastic origins and Russian practice. Appendices reflect on the relationship of Christianity to war and on choosing between Eastern and Western spiritual emphases.
