The name and works of the outstanding theologian Alexander Schmemann are known throughout the Orthodox world. In his works, with all the diversity of their topics - from narrow theological to public and popular, the personality of the author, a Christian priest and a European intellectual, a church conservative and an Orthodox polemicist, who was not afraid to look for answers to difficult questions asked by life, is invariably present. “This book is a series reflections on the Eucharist. These reflections, however, do not come from “scientific issues,” but from—albeit small and limited—experience. For over thirty years I served the Church - as a priest, as a theological teacher, as a pastor and teacher. And so, in these thirty years, a certain basic questioning about the Eucharist, about its place in the Church has never left me, a questioning that arose literally in my youth and filled my life with joy.”
