Archpriest Valentin Sventsitsky (1881–1931) - theologian, philosopher and spiritual writer. The collection includes works written by Fr. Valentine before his ordination. “The Second Crucifixion of Christ” is a fantastic story about the coming of Christ into the modern world. In less than two millennia that have passed since the events of the Gospel, little has changed on earth. People still do not believe Christ, do not understand the meaning of His commandments. Unrecognized by anyone, He is again put on trial. The novel “Antichrist” in style and in its themes is very close to the works of Dostoevsky. The main character admits to his depravity, but is not ashamed of it. He studies with interest the dark, “anti-Christ” side of his personality, justifying his own immorality with the principle “He who avoids temptations will never know holiness.”
