St. Seraphim, Wonderworker of Sarov, and His Spiritual Inheritance
by Helen Kontzevitch Translated by St. Xenia Skete
“At the beginning of the nineteenth century[...a] renaissance occurred. [...]St. Seraphim appeared as the greatest and brighest example of this epoch of rebirth. In his holiness he was not only one of the saints of the Russian nation, but he holds a place among the greatest lights of the Christian world—‘as one of the ancients.’ He is a great gift of Orthodox Russia to Universal Orthodoxy.” —“Preface”
