The book is a reissue of the famous report by A. V. Kartashev “Old Testament Biblical Criticism,” which was read on February 13, 1944 at the St. Sergius Theological Institute in Paris. Due to the difficulties of the war and post-war times, Kartashev’s report was published only in 1947 - in the YMCA-PRESS publishing house in Paris, in a small edition. This publication has long become a bibliographic rarity. There was no complete reissue of Kartashev’s report. The book is equipped with a foreword by Metropolitan Hilarion (Alfeev) and a brief bio-bibliographical note dedicated to the life and work of A. V. Kartashev. For everyone interested in biblical studies and theology.
