True Orthodoxy is very different from its popular versions, set out in stupid books about faith and the church. It is almost inaccessible not only to observation, but even to verbal description. However, it's not all bad. You just need to move a little to the side from those viewing platforms from which Orthodoxy is usually - and unsuccessfully - shown, and turn to the historical and modern precedents of Christian existence, when it is directed “against the flow” of non-Christian or pseudo-Christian public life. Can an adequate modern person be Orthodox? Who are the true believers? What are real Christian values? What is the true meaning of church life? This book reveals completely unexpected and amazing aspects of the life of a Christian.
